[00:00.000]The Offer - Augie March
[00:19.420]This is a song not like the other ones
[00:27.970]Secret and selfish and somewhat hollow
[00:31.780]In the middle of this song there seemed to grown another
[00:40.020]Of indeterminate length and origin
[00:46.440]To populate a people＇s song first you must do something wrong
[00:53.420]If you＇ve never been infirm you can never be strong
[00:59.920]Prune your rose bushes Djamila (Glenn)
[01:03.500]Or you＇ll never see your home again
[01:08.580]Country and city kingdom of the well of the unwell
[01:17.060]You dwell in them both like a ghost -
[01:20.130]When old King George said to my long dead kin
[01:23.310]＂Ten summers and winters in Arthur will do you in＂
[01:27.560]He cut out his heart and he buried the sin there in England
[01:33.540]Prune your rose bushes Luis (Glenn)
[01:37.590]Oh they＇ll grow up again
[01:40.150]There may still be a next year who knows
[01:47.400]If you＇re lonely take a drink there are better things to think
[01:54.130]Think on ancient cities sunsets and girls in Spring
[02:27.669]You needed a song I needed one too
[02:31.159]So keep listening
[02:32.909]FOR MY OFFER TO YOU
[02:34.779]Take it with good grace and humour too
[02:48.961]First came the golden age
[02:54.761]When there was no need of proof
[02:57.001]When lions ate flowers and your house
[02:59.501]Didn＇t need a roof
[03:01.251]Then came the silver days
[03:06.361]When a boy saw himself for the first time
[03:09.851]In the reflection of a blade
[03:11.671]Then he saw the way
[03:13.111]To populate a people＇s song
[03:16.281]First he must do something wrong
[03:19.661]If you＇ve never heard the music you never will
[03:43.084]Prune your rose bushes Billy and Toby (Glenn)
[03:46.764]So they＇ll soon grow up again
[03:49.504]There may still be a next year who knows
[03:56.814]If you＇re lonely take a drink
[04:00.184]There are better things to think
[04:03.304]Think on ancient cities sunsets and girls in Spring
[04:10.664]Because all the tears that you mend
[04:13.964]They will open up again
[04:17.894]And weren＇t you suppose to call your friends this evening
[04:37.054]It rained all night the day I left
[04:40.494]The weather it was fine
[04:43.174]It rained all night the day I left
