Luyện nghe bài hát This Strange Engine

There was a boy who came into this
At the of a holy woman in a holy place
He wore a red coat and walked a
Saw reflected in the mirror of the lakes

Lived in the shadow of the
With the of disinfectant
Dusty old leather and the wood of his bed

No more a baby feeding swans on the river
Holding the hands of his
And the wax paper bag of bread

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

The smell of the wax on the floor
of polish and soap
No children to or to play with
Rows of hooks for the coats

An upright piano and the in the choir
Still remind him of just he was born
Remind him of before he was breathing
Strange visions of God

Turn the cities into families, into villages of
Hovering in the air while they're
With houses invisible
Send to me the of Christmas
Whispering, "You're the one"

And since I was a boy
I never felt that I
everything they did to me
Was an to see

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

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

To find the fundamental
It was to take some time
Thirty five summers the line

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

Daddy out the navy and took us
to his dirty gray hometown
And he worked down on a coal mine for National
So that he be around

was a magical purple in the chrome
Of the of his Triumph motorbike
And a warmth of oil and and the thrill
Of the corner holding tight

From the horizon came home the navy to the mine
From the horizon to alive
Took his underground
his treasure in his faraway eyes

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

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

Oh, Mummy, Daddy, you sit a while with me?
Oh Mummy, Daddy, will you jog my
Tell me tall tales of Montego Bay, table
Flying fish, spiders, pots of paint

And the sun on the
Setting like an thrown to deep water
crimson to black
But back tomorrow on the horizon

The blue pain to a point
Where it fade, it stayed blue
And his red coat heart to this strange engine
This love, this

This love, 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 deep
For one time and bleeds
And bleeds and for you

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