Marianne Faithfull - The Trial Lyrics
The prosecutor:Good morning, worm, your honour.The crown will plainly showThe prisoner who stands now before youWas caught red handed showing feelings,Showing feelings of an almost human nature.Ah, this will not do!Call the schoolmaster!Teacher:I always said hed come to no goodIn the end, your honourIf theyd let me have my way I couldHave flayed him into shape.But my hands were tied,The bleeding hearts and artistsLet him get away with murder,Let me hammer him today!The defendant:Crazy toys in the attic, Im crazyTruly gone fishing.They must have taken my marbles away!Chorus:Crazy toys in the attic, he is crazy.The prosecutor:Call the defendants wife!The wife:You little shit, youre in it now,I hope they throw away the key.You should have talked to me more often than you did,But no, you had to go your on way.Have you broken any homes up lately ?Just five minutes, worm, your honour,Him and me alone!Mother: *Babe ........Come to mother,Baby, let me hold you on my arms.Mlord, I never wanted himTo get in any trouble.Whyd he ever had to leave me ?Worm, your honour, let me take him home!The defendant:Crazy over the rainbow, I am crazyBars in the window.There must have been a door there in the wallWhen I came in!Chorus:Crazy over the rainbow, he is crazy.The judge:The evidence before the court is incontrovertible,Theres no need for the jury to retire.In all my years of judging, I have never heard beforeOf someone more deserving the full penalty of law.The way you made them suffer,Your exquisite wife and mother,Fills me with the urge to defecate!Since my friend you have revealed your deepest fear,I sentence you to be exposed before your peers!Tear down the wall!!!Chorus:Tear down the wall!!!!Tear down the wall!!!!Tear down the wall!!!!Tear down the wall!!!!* sung by marianneRoger waters & the bleeding heart band:Graham broad - drumsRick di fonzo - guitarAndy fairweather low - guitar & bassNick glennie smith - keyboardsSnowy white - guitarPeter wood - keyboardsBacking vocalists: joe chemay, jim farber, jim haas, john joyceThe rundfunk orchestra & choirThe military orchestra of the soviet army (principal: wiktor afanesjew)The rundfunk orchestra & choirThe prosecutor: tim curryThe teacher: thomas dolbyThe wife: ute lemperMother: marianne faithfullThe judge: albert finneyThe companyProduced by nick griffiths and roger watersEngineered by nigel jopsonMixed by nick griffiths and nigel jopsonOrchestra recorded by steven mcglaughlinAssistant sound engineer: heidi cannavo
