Mike and the mechanics how can i lyrics

The war, although going badly for the forces of evil, is far far from being close to an ending. He tells her to hide her hatred deep down. Feign loyalty to the occupying forces and discreetly teach her children the truth about spirituality and the real cause of the war so they will eventually be able to defeat the bad guys for good. In his agony at seeing his family at such risk, he slips and mentions being protected from "up here" because Heaven is where his life essence is actually eminating from.

Very strong undertones of real faith vs religion and the world. Francophile on July 20, Jetfire59 I agree with you. I see your post was from Things have gotten much worse and the song seems somehow even more relevant.

Some of us have been paying attention to what is going on with the world. Florida so things are not as bad here yet. Lighthearted1 on August 16, General Comment I think its like a pre-apocalypse type thing, when war is just breaking out. The narrator is someone high ranking in the army, warning friends perhaps, that fighting is coming and to hide out in the cellar, under ground.

The lines about praying are to enhance the fact that they're helpless and there's nothing else than can do. Pledge to the flag they tell you to, so that you will not be singled out as a traitor.

This is about a time when people have absolutely no freedom. Probably about a resistance against a totalitarian government. In America Can you believe it? I can't. General Comment This song is interesting if taken with several of Mike Rutherford's other offerings on his first and second albums. His songs "Silent Running", "Take the Reins", "Call to Arms", and then "Why Me" all seem to explore the same theme of insurrection or resistance against some sort of foe.

Rutherford seems like a dedicated Libertarian who frets the loss of Freedom and an possible future Dark Age of authoritarianism of some sort.

Although these songs all date from the s, I think they are telling and especially relevant for today. Conservatives also seem to think they have the monopoly on religious beliefs and a hotline to god. Read up on history, the number of wars fought where both sides were convinced god was on their side has been Where was god for the losers, for the enslaved, for the murdered, raped, and pillaged? Punished by him? Have babies and kids been killed because they've wronged god? This is why religion is a fool's gambit.

However, check out min. Like it, but be careful not to use a riff, whack quality vocals over the top and say 'job done'. Imo good songs have more depth and I am finding this a little bit overly Radio 2. I predict Out of the Blue to have more legs Ed Sheeran and Coldplay! When your friends stop calling you. Tom Gray. Dieter Eschenbacher.
