The Cat Empire - The Crowd
{Chorus}
Lord unchain my hands
Let me sing inside the crowded trams
Let me dance among the traffic jams
We're gonna sleep on the St. Kilda sands
Lord unbind my feet
Let me mingle with the good people we meet
Water rising up into the street
Unbind my feet
The apparition of these faces in the crowd
Petals on a wet black bough
Ezra Pound found the formula
Our houses are rectangular
But life is curved not angular
So when things start to strangular
Remember rain still falls on the halls of power
New babies being born every hour
And the eagle keeps watch on the old clock tower
Over me
{Chorus}
On the train I refrain
From sitting with heads and shoulders bowed
They told me time is of the essence
No wandering allowed
But then I saw a pretty girl
Whose features stood out in the crowd
Went ten minutes past my stop
Waiting for her to look around
I'm just another clown
Kicking around in Melbourne town
Cooling out, relaxing
Watching the world go 'round
So if you ever got the time
And you want to go drink some wine
I'd rather greet you with a smile
Than greet you with a frown
{Chorus}
