Eye Of The Needle
Original version (5:33)
[on Regeneration]
They say that you’ll hear Him
If you’re really listening
And pray for that feeling
Of grace.
But that’s what I’m doing.
Why doesn’t He answer?
I’ve prayed till I’m blue in
The face.
And the cars in the churchyard are shiny and German,
Distinctly at odds with the theme of the sermon.
And during communion I study the people
Threading themselves through the eye of the needle.
I know that it’s wrong for
The faithful to seek it
But sometimes I long for
A sign,
Anything -
Something to wake up
The whole congregation
And finally make up
My mind,
My mind
‘Cause the cars in the churchyard are shiny and German,
Completely at odds with the theme of the sermon.
And all through communion I stare at the people
Squeezing themselves through the eye of the needle.
Voice:
[...]
Patient, got to be patient, you all deserve it.
Does anyone want a cigarette or anything ?
You all deserve to be at the top.
The ‘Tap Tap’, you will need to ‘Tap Tap’ loud.
I’ve always said the new record industry definitively will sound a lot different, materially different.
Now, this sort of thing, now, this sort of thing definitively managed to be different, it deserves it even if it was the same.
