rhythms of revolution - jim & jean lyrics

[verse 1: jim glover, jim & jean glover]
in a building of gold, with riches untold
lived the families where the country was founded
and the merchants of style, with their vain velvet smiles
were there, for they also were hounded
and the soft middle class crowded into the last
for the building was fully surrounded
and the noise outside was the rhythms of revolution

[verse 2: jean glover, jim & jean glover]
oh, sadly stared and sank in your chairs
and searched for a comforting notion
and the rich silver walls looked ready to fall
as they shook in doubtful dеvotion
and the ice cubes would clink as you frеshened your drinks
wet your minds in bitter emotion
and they talked about the rhythms of revolution

[verse 3: jim glover, jim & jean glover]
we were hardly aware of the hardships they beared
for our time was taken with treasure
oh, life was a game and work was a shame
and pain was prevented by pleasure
and the world cold and gray was so far, far away
in distance only money could measure
but their thoughts were broken by the rhythm of revolution
[bridge: jim & jean glover]
ah
ah

[verse 4: jim glover, jim & jean glover]
and the clouds filled the room in darkening doom
as the crooked smoke rings were rising
how long will it take, how can we escape
someone asks, but no one’s advising
and the quivering floor responds to a roar
in a shake no longer surprising
as closer and closer came the rhythms of revolution

[verse 5: jean glover]
so softly you moan, please leave us alone
as back and forth you are pacing
you cover you ears and try not to hear
with pillows of silk you’re embracing
the crackling crowd is laughing out loud
peeking in at the target we’re chasing
now trembling inside the rhythms of revolution

[interlude: jim & jean glover]
sloopy girl, she lives on the outside of town
everybody there tries to put my sloopy down
sloopy girl don’t care what your daddy do
sloopy girl, you know i’m in love with you
hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on
hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on
[verse 6: jim glover, jean glover, both]
with compromise sway we gave in half way (hang on sloopy)
when we saw that rebellion was growing (sloopy, hang on)
now everything’s lost as we kneel by the cross (hang on sloopy)
where the blood of christ is still flowing (sloopy, hang on)
how does it feel?
too late for you sorrow you’ve reached your tomorrow
to be on your own
and reaped the seed you were sowing
with no direction home
now harvested by the rhythms of revolution
a complete unknown
like a rolling stone
like a rolling stone
like a rolling stone
oh

[verse 7: jean glover & jim glover]
in tattered tuxedos (once upon a time you dressed so fine)
you faced the new heroes (threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?)
and crawled about in confusion
and you sheepishly grinned (people call, say “beware doll, you’re bound to fall”)
for your memories were dim (you thought they were all kiddin’ you)
of the decades of dark execution
hollow hands raised, they stood there amazed (you used to laugh, laugh about)
in the shattering of your illusions (everybody that was hangin’ out)
as the windows were smashed (now you don’t talk so loud)
by the rhythms of revolution (now you don’t talk so loud)
[verse 8: jim glover & jean glover]
down on our knees we’re begging you please (ah)
we’re sorry for the way you were driven (ah)
there’s no need to taunt, just take what you want (ah)
we’ll make amends, if we’re living (ah)
but away from the crowds the flames told the town (ah)
that only the dead are forgiven (ooh)
as they vanished inside the rhythm of revolution (ah)

[outro: jim glover, jean glover, both]
guantanamera (oh)
guantanamera (how does it feel?)
guantanamera (yeah, to be left alone)
guantanamera (hey, a complete unknown)
guantanamera (yeah, like a rolling stone)
hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on (hey, a complete unknown)
hang on (hey, yeah, a complete unknown)
hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on (hey, yeah, with no direction home)
hang on (hey, yeah)
hang on
