Luyện nghe bài hát This Strange Engine

There was a boy who came this world
At the hands of a holy in a holy place
He wore a red coat and walked a
Saw them in the mirror of the lakes

Lived in the of the mountains
With the of disinfectant
Dusty old leather and the polished of his bed

No more a baby feeding swans on the river
Holding the of his mother
And the wax paper bag of yesterday's

And his father on the side of the world
On the ship's and some far away tide
With the dry tear of home thoughts from abroad
In his far eyes, in his far away eyes

The of the wax on the wooden floor
Mixture of and soap
No to fear or to play with
of empty hooks for the coats

An upright piano and the boys in the
Still remind him of just he was born
Remind him of just before he was
Strange misty of God

Turn the cities into families, into villages of
Hovering in the air while sleeping
With their invisible
to me the ghosts of Christmas
Whispering, "You're the one"

And since I was a boy
I felt that I belonged
everything they did to me
Was an to see

How I would with the illusion?
In which direction I jump
I do it all the same
As the in the game?

Or I spit it back at them
And not get caught up in rules?
And according to my own
And not be used, not be

To find the fundamental
It was going to take some
Thirty five down the line

The of each passing year
Seems to serve to confuse
to serve only to confuse

Daddy came out the and took us
Away to his dirty hometown
And he worked down on a coal mine for National
So he could be around

There was a purple in the chrome
Of the exhaust of his Triumph
And a of oil and metal and the thrill
Of the hard corner holding

From the horizon came from the navy to the mine
the horizon to buried alive
Took his underground
Buried his treasure in his eyes

And one day as the boy lay
In the of a half remembered afternoon
A of bees with no particular aim and no brain
Found the boy, decided that his time had

down out of the sky, stung him in the face
Again and again, blue pain, screaming baptism
Intravenous Jesus like chosen
Something with no brain, pain
It's happening again, it's happening

Oh, Mummy, Daddy, will you sit a while me?
Oh Mummy, Daddy, you jog my memory?
Tell me tall of Montego Bay, table mountain
Flying fish, banana spiders, pots of

And the sun on the
like an ember thrown to deep water
From crimson to
But coming back on the horizon

The pain fades to a point
it doesn't fade, it stayed blue
And stirred his red coat heart to strange engine
This love, this

love, this inconvenient
Blind, blood-diamond, puzzle

This love, blind, blood-diamond
puzzle I don't understand
That knows no faith and
And and tries again

at the sea
The night's dark
For one last time and
And and dies for you

And lies and is to
And is
And is not the
And is true, is
Is true, is true and
Is true
