Bells are chiming for victory

Theres a page back in history

45

They came back to the world that they fought for

Didnt turn out just like they thought

45



Here is a song to sing to do the measuring

What do you lose, what do you gain, what do you win?



Nine years later a child is born

Theres a record, so you put it on

45

Nine years more, if were lucky now

Nine-year-old puts his money down

45

Every scratch. every click, every heartbeat

Every breath that I held for you

45

Theres a stack of shellac and vinyl

Which is yours now and which is mine?

45



Repeat chorus



Bass and treble heal every hurt

Theres a rebel in a nylon shirt

But the words are a mystery, Ive heard

Til you turn it down to 33 and 13

Cos it helps with the elocution

Corporations turn revolutions

45



So dont just weep and shed

Just change your name instead

What do you lose when it all goes to your head?



I heard something peculiar said:

Perhaps hes got a shot and now hes dead

45



Bells are chiming and tears are falling

It creeps up on you without a warning

45

Every scratch, every click, every heartbeat

Every breath that I bless

Id be lost, I confess
