lyrics
My mother she gave birth to me,
I never felt her warmth,
Her ultimate sacrifice,
She never gazed into my eyes.
Father gave up on himself,
Handed over his own soul,
Removed his heart from his inside,
Left out in the cold.
Like the flowers from the ground,
They ripped my hand away from his,
An evil woman with dark stare,
Said I was the cause of this.
I lay upon the cobbled floor,
As the tears streamed down my face,
I shiver from the cold nights breath,
Whispering my name.
Bruised and broken
Without your love would I be living?
I pray to you- oh, merciful you...
But I can hardly breathe.
You and I feel the same way when we are not the saviour
Guide me through this sickness of mine
Guide me to the light.
I walk around this yard alone,
Look out across the open field.
It’s dark and grey and doesn't sing,
The bells above, they still don't ring.
I look up at the stained glass sky,
Bruised and Bent upon my knees,
I hope and pray for happiness,
It won't come for me.
Bruised and broken
Without your love would I be living?
I pray to you- oh, merciful you...
But I can hardly breathe.
You and I feel the same way when we are not the saviour
Guide me through this sickness of mind
I can hardly fight.

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.

Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10
