Derek Jarmans Garden Songtext
von Nicky Wire

So what will come from all this love?
Will the raindrops cease and stop?
So what will come from all this love?
Will the raindrops cease and stop?
So what will come from all this love?

I just take what I can get
And what will they remember me?
I just take what I can get

A last act of defiance drifting in the breeze
Beauty and all the gods, here within the weeds
And a garden by the sea will help you to ease the misery
Hope floats but dies again, just out of my reach
Take me there to be myself, a man, a life, a beach
If you just use your own hands, it will help you


Help you to understand
A tiny piece of precious land
Made of shingle and made of sand
A tiny piece of precious land
Made of shingle and made of sand

Oh nuclear power, so picturesque
The tears rain down like lovers leaving home
When the world seems so alone

So what will come from all this love?
Will the raindrops cease and stop?

The stars will wait while we debate
How the future′s dead and gone
For what will be, remember me
And the roads that we have seen
With no regret do I place bets
I just take what I can get
The universe will take the pain
While the lovers fade away
