Luyện nghe bài hát This Strange Engine

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

in the shadow of the mountains
With the smells of
old leather and the polished wood of his bed

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

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

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

An piano and the boys in the choir
Still remind him of just he was born
Remind him of just he was breathing
misty visions of God

Turn the into families, into villages of souls
in the air while they're sleeping
With houses invisible
to me the ghosts of Christmas
Whispering, "You're the one"

And ever I was a boy
I felt that I belonged
Like they did to me
Was an to see

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

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

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

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

Daddy came out the navy and us
Away to his dirty gray
And he worked down on a mine for National Service
So that he could be

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

the horizon came home from the navy to the mine
From the to buried alive
his dream underground
Buried his treasure in his faraway

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

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

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

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

The blue fades to a point
Where it fade, it stayed blue
And stirred his red 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 no faith and tries
And and tries again

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

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