@ALBUM: Internal Exile Single
From: GTP10@phoenix.cambridge.ac.uk
Subject: Internal Exile Lyric

Having spent a fair amount of time yesterday trying to decipher the lyric
to "Internal Exile" (posted earlier), today I obtained a copy of the 12"
picture disc and discovered that the words are printed on the B-side...

The picture disc itself has the sleeve picture on the A-side and various
information on a blue background surrounded by barbed wire, thistle and
rose on the B-side.

The tracks are:

A: Internal Exile (Album Version)
B: Internal Exile (Karaoke Mix)
Carnival Man

In the light of the lyric printed, here is a more accurate version of
"Internal Exile".

Words in () brackets are officially listed but I can't hear them!
Words in {} brackets are not listed but are clearly sung.

@SONG: INTERNAL EXILE

I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Gardens
Heading out west for the Lothian Road
An Evening News stuffed deep in his pocket
Wrapped up in his problems to keep away the cold

Grierson's spirit haunts the dockyards
(Where) the only men working (are on the) documentary crews
Shooting film as the lines get longer
As the seams run out, as the oil runs dry

Hey there laddie, internal exile
When will you (realise) {see that} we've got to let go?
Hey there lassie, internal exile
When will you realise (we've) {you've} got to let go?

Starlings wheeling round Georgian spires
And the fires of Grangemouth burn the skies
A lion sleeps in a tenement close
In the country that's tired and deaf to his roar

Hey there laddie, internal exile
When will you (realise) {see that} we've got to let go?
Hey there lassie, internal exile
When will you realise (we've) {you've} got to let go?

+ {We've got to go now}
+ {Won't you please let us go now?}

+ They bury a wasteland deep in the wilderness
+ Poison the soil and reap the harvest
+ Of blind indifference, greed and apathy
+ Sowed way back in our history

+ The fish are few and the harbours are empty
+ The keels now rot on our oil slicked shores
+ The sheep are gone, the farms deserted
+ (We're) {It's} out of sight and we're out of mind

+ Hey there laddie, internal exile
+ When will you (realise) {see that} we've got to let go?
+ Hey there lassie, internal exile
+ When will you realise (we've) {you've} got to let go?

{We're gonna go now}
{We're gonna go now}

Like our fathers before us we've eyes for America
Dream of a new life on foreign shores
(But) wherever we go we'll always know
That the land we stand on is never our own

Hey there laddie, internal exile
When will you (realise) {see that} we've got to let go?
Hey there lassie, internal exile
When will you realise (we've) {you've} got to let go?

{We're internal exiles}
{We've got to, got to let go}
{We're internal exiles}
{As if we've got to let go}
{We've got to let go}
{We've got to go now}
{Won't you please let us go now?}
{Internal exile}
{Internal exile}
{Won't you please let us go now?}

@SONG: CARNIVAL MAN

It's a quarter past midnight and she aint no Cinderella
She's swallowed all your best lines and she's staying in the hotel
You've got a number from the bar tab that she's running
The circus comes to town

Temptation! Oooh, such a temptation!
Such a temptation!

The cage door is open and you're living on the high wire
Clowning in the spotlight you've got no one to bring you down
The cab's impatient, this lady's willing
The ringmaster calls you down

Temptation! Oh, such a temptation!
Temptation! Oh, such a temptation!

The Carnival Man! So glad to know you
The Carnival Man! You're shaking hands with
The Carnival Man! So pleased to meet you
The Carnival Man! Call me Mister Temptation

Like a bullet in a chamber that you're thinking is empty
You press it to your temple with a finger on the trigger
An act of bravado, an act of defiance
It's all eyes upon you now

Temptation! Oh, such a temptation!
Temptation! Oh, such a temptation!

The Carnival Man! So glad to know you
The Carnival Man! You're shaking hands with
The Carnival Man! So pleased to meet you
The Carnival Man! Call me Mister Temptation

Is there anything you want?
Anything you desire?
Just tell me anything you need
They call me Mister Temptation

You're the life and soul of every party
Now you're walking wounded, just another casualty
You've got my sympathy, you've got my calling card
This call's collect

I'm the Carnival Man
You may remember me as Mister Temptation
Carnival Man
This is the day that the circus leaves town
Goodbye, Carnival Man
This is the day that the circus leaves town
Goodbye
This is the day that the circus leaves town


There is a long (well over a minute) instrumental break before the verse
beginning "You're the life and soul...".
