This is a damn good song. I just love the keyboard riff that goes through it. I hope you enjoy it too.

Lyrics:

Dry forever the sun blinds off the whitewashed walls

Unbelieving she looks up from the unswept floor

You don't have to go you don't have to tell me

All that talk of lofty causes wrapped in foolish pride

That's a lie

That you don't have to tell me

I don't wanna hear how wisdom walks beside you

Or how God is inside you again

No wire marks the border

No fence or wall

No town breaks this horizon

Nothing at all

Dust surrounds her the men go hungry for disaster

All they leave behind are

The old and useless and the broken

That never will be mended

I don't wanna hear you're captured by the madness

Of ideas long discredited from other people's minds

They're all lies

That you don't have to tell me

All that comes of this is poverty and hardship

Still you don't absorb a word I say

But now there is a border

A line of blood

Now men patrol the border

But they're dead

Somewhere a bird is flying, oh

Somewhere the wind is sighing, oh

I hope it brings you comfort

Because it's surely no good to me

This wind blows me down

And cuts me like a knife

And now the darkness and coldness

That freezes out illusion

Restores the picture gives back the pieces

And lays them on the empty floor

I don't want to hear so you don't have to tell me

How you rewrite history a little every day

Till it's lies

That you don't have to tell me

I don't want to hear how good it really has been

How wonderful the troubles we shared

No I don't want to hear so you don't have to tell me

I don't need your comfort I just need your company

What a beautiful song. It's a real shame Tony's work didn't get more attention.

Been listening to Mr. Banks since 1977. Damn if he's not the Mozart and Brahms of our time. We are all better off for trying to understand his writing...

No One writes like Mr. Banks. No One. Damn I wish he and Peter would get together for a little jam.

Mr. Banks is one of the best musicians, keyboardists, and musical writers of the 20th and 21st century. We are all better because of what he has given us.

...another great Banks forgotten song from his 1989 repertoire, style more pop but still with a progressiv edge, subtle keyboard arpeggios motion in a long story, when you begin to try to understand the harmonies or to play it, can not realize so easy. Worth to rediscover and to listen carefully. Thanks for this...

I get chills whenever I listen to this song. The exciting arpeggiated keyboard sequence, the melodic/percussive bells accenting the chord changes, to the profound lyrics. Topping it off with Alistair's thick and powerful voice - this piece is just sublime. This is certainly in my top 5 of favorite Bank's songs. Thanks!!
