Captain Walker didn't come home
His unborn child will never know him
Believe him missing with a number of men
Don't expect to see him again

It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy
It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy

A son
A son
A son

Got a feeling '21
Is going to be a good year
Especially if you and me
See it in together

So you think '21
Is going to be a good year
It could be good for me and her
But you and her, no never!
I had no reason to be over optimistic
But somehow when you smiled
I could brave bad weather

What about the boy?
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
He saw it all!

You didn't hear it
You didn't see it
You won't say nothing to no-one
Never in your life
You never heard it
Oh, how absurd it all seems
Without any proof
You didn't hear it
You didn't see it
You never heard it, not a word of it
You won't say nothing to no-one
Never tell a soul
What you know is the Truth

Got a feeling '21
Is going to be a good year
Especially if you and me
See it in together

Got a feeling '21
Is going to be a good year
Especially if you and me
See it in together

I had no reason to be over optimistic
But somehow when you smiled
I could brave bad weather

Deaf, dumb and blind boy
He's in a quiet vibration land
Strange as it seems, his musical dreams
Ain't quite so bad

Ten years old with thoughts as bold as thoughts can be
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity.

Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know

A vague haze of delirium
Creeps up on me
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see
He's dressed in a silver sparkled
Glittering gown
And his golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground

Nothing to say, nothing to hear
Nothing to see
Each sensation makes a note
In my symphony

Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know

His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
He is your leader
He is your guide
On the amazing journey
Together you'll ride

You talk about your woman
I wish you could see mine
You talk about your woman
I wish you could see mine
Every time she starts to lovin'
She brings eyesight to the blind

You know her daddy gave her magic
I can tell by the way she walks
Her daddy gave her magic,
I can tell by the way she walks
Every time she start to shakin'
The dumb begin to talk

She's got the power to heal you, never fear!
She's got the power to heal you, never fear!
Just a word from her lips
And the deaf begin to hear

Did you ever see the faces of the children? They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean including heaven's generosity
Peeping round the door to see what parcels are for free in curiosity

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?

Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently and unaware of anything
Playing poxy pinball picks his nose and smiles and pokes his tongue at everything
I believe in love but how can men who've never seen light be enlightened?
Only if he's cured will his spirit's future level ever heighten

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?

Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
How can he be saved?

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me!

Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
How can he be saved?

Did you ever see the faces of the children? They get so excited

We're on our own, cousin
All alone, cousin
Let's think of a game to play
Now the grown-ups have all gone away
You won't be much fun
Being blind, deaf and dumb
But I've no-one to play with today
Do you know how to play hide-and-seek?
To find me it would take you a week
But tied to that chair
You won't go anywhere
There's a lot I can do with a freak

How would you feel if I
Turned on the bath
Ducked your head under
And started to laugh?
What would you do if I Shut you outside
To stand in the rain
And catch cold so you died?

I'm the school bully!
The classroom cheat
The nastiest play friend
You ever could meet
I'll stick pins in your fingers
And tread on your feet

We're on our own, cousin
All alone, cousin
Let's think of a game to play
Now the grown-ups have all gone away
You won't be much fun
Being blind, deaf and dumb
But I've no-one to play with today
Do you know how to play hide-and-seek?
To find me it would take you a week
But tied to that chair
You won't go anywhere
There's a lot I can do with a freak

Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm
Would change your expression
To one of alarm
I'll drag you around by a lock of your hair
Or give you a push
At the top of the stairs

I'm the school bully!
The classroom cheat
The nasty play friend
You ever could meet
I'll put glass in your dinner
And spikes in your seat

If your child ain't all he could be
This girl will put him right
I'll show him what he could be now
If you would give me one more night, yeah

'Cause I'm the gypsy, I'm the acid queen
Pay me before I start
'Cause I'm the gypsy and I'm guaranteed
To tear your soul apart

Give us a room, close the door
Leave us for a while
You won't be a boy no more
You'll be young, but not a child

'Cause I'm the gypsy, 'cause I'm the acid queen
Pay me before I start
Said I'm the gypsy and I'm guaranteed
To mend your aching heart

Gather your wits and hold them fast
Your mind gotta learn to roam
Just as the acid queen must do
You're gonna hit the road

'Cause I'm the gypsy, I'm the acid queen
Pay me before I start
'Cause I'm the gypsy and I'm guaranteed
To tear your soul apart

'Cause I'm the gypsy, the acid queen
Gotta pay me before I start
I'm the gypsy and I'm guaranteed
To tear your soul apart

I'm the gypsy, 'cause I'm the acid queen
You gotta pay me before I start
I'm the gypsy and I'm guaranteed
To ease your aching heart
