Brave New World
Barclay James Harvest
Intro: Verse 1: When I was just a child My world it was so small The empty playground swings The corner shop the penny drinks The backyard walls Of a brave new world And as the years passed by I never thought to try And memorise the dreams The childhood fantasies The backyard walls Of a brave new world Hey Suzanne won’t you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and this weather’s fine And there’s something I got to say Hey Suzanne won’t you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she’s right That the blackest day’s when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what ma-ma said Bow your head For a brave new world Verse 2: Now I’m twenty-four My small world’s closed the door I feel like I should cry Death’s desperation lies on every eye In the brave new world Hey Suzanne won’t you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and this weather’s fine And there’s something I got to say Hey Suzanne won’t you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she’s right That the blackest day’s when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what ma-ma said Bow your head For a brave new world Verse 3: Now I’m old and grey And life has passed my way My tears have all run dry I’ve seen men born to kill and born to die For a brave new world For a brave new world For such an old old world
