[00:01.75]The Good Son - David Sylvian
[01:18.36]You know he'll take you
[01:22.31]But not too far
[01:27.37]Always first in line
[01:31.06]But second to none
[01:36.87]The good son
[01:40.87]The good son
[01:54.00]He loves a good tune so whistle one he knows
[02:05.62]He looks to you to see things right
[02:18.28]
[02:21.40]So take this ring and pass it on
[02:26.11]There's always stories riddled with lies
[02:31.17]You know the questions are best put aside
[02:37.11]Listen to him
[02:41.98]
[02:45.81]Listen closely now here he comes
[02:58.45]It's a shameful way to behave
[03:05.13]It'll hurt if he gets his own way
[03:12.83]
[03:14.71]You know he'll take you
[03:20.27]But not too far
[03:23.96]Always first in line
[03:27.89]Second to none
[03:31.16]
[03:32.14]Listen closely now
[03:36.64]Listen closely now
[03:40.71]Here he comes
[03:45.08]The good son
[03:46.77]
[03:55.45]He tells himself
[03:57.76]It's too far to come
[04:01.39]To redefine his aspirations to be
[04:09.10]The good son
[04:10.10]
[04:12.29]The good son
[04:13.35]
[04:16.17]The good son
[04:18.47]
[04:22.66]"Don't try to make sense of it" she said
[04:32.18]"It's all that you can do to balance up the books
[04:38.30]For him and you"
[04:40.65]
[04:56.04]And though he's nothing in particular
[05:02.81]But he's game for a fight
[05:04.81]He muscles his way in and stays for life
[05:10.69]And all the world has come undone
[05:15.76]And every family should have one
[05:21.18]A good son
