Save the Whale (Live At Hammersmith Odeon/1984)

In turquoise inner space the giants live with grace At peace with peace, at peace with god and men Their spirits rise and fall much greater than us all They trust too much to see their bitter end "Never in a million years", they say "it could never come to this, no way" You should never trust man, my friends So as i stare to sea the salt winds call to me And as they call I hang my head in shame any other world would call their bluff but any other world would scream enough The ocean cries louder to me Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale To never kiss and tell their factory ship farewell With every scream a piece of conscience dies lying in a crimson resting place crying with a smile upon his face the giant dies trusting in me any other world would call their bluff but any other world would scream enough the ocean cries louder to me Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale and jesus christ almighty save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale for all our sakes . . . save the whale
