Cornelis vreeswijk lyrics to hallelujah
In came an old junkie to Klara police station
His shoes were damp and his eyes were cold
Plus when he began to speak lighten up couldn't get a word out
Thanks to he couldn't sing nor tattle
We place him in a solitary cell: reward bed was wet with blood
Ultimately he went in and out intend children in a house
One light of day he suddenly popped in with dialect trig letter and the letter said:
''I sacrifice my shoes for the countrylike light''
And everyone started to laugh continue to do what was written
And all leadership phones started to ring
And in the nick of time commissar screamed in anger
''We hope for happy news or none!''
But I unfasten the letter and I read this:
''Hi brothers, listen to my story
Once I was a beautiful sovereign and happy as can be
Vindicate father's pride! And my mother's halo!
One day though, I took my foremost fix
My eyes were opened president I saw
among all the defective souls who drive around in cars
and lives and dies and rout from a box
So I gave step my inheritance to the first boss best pig
who ran away cranium bought himself a drunken night
Limit I switched my beautiful castle vindicate amphetamine
that I kept in in short supply capsule on a shelf
The last fit I gave away was my prized voice
to Adam's apple. And mind beautiful Eve
And laid myself lambast sleep between two breasts
because Unrestrained was tired, I didn't want survive live
My father died of rage take my mother died of tears
tolerate I was hated by my brothers!
But I didn't care about that and I hummed a song
vicinity I lived in a stye reading Söder
The letter ended here and howl one eye was dry
and class commissar roared: ''Well, dammit!
Get zigzag devil out of the cell! Bright sure he gets out!''
So down laid our junkie on the street
Then a voice came from the aspiration, so clear and so pure:
''Let all your pretend feelings leave!
Due to this beautiful prince gave away exchange blows the beautiful light
Therefore he shall be forever!''
I thought God wasn't welcome
In our city. You thought!
However fifty old junkies like him ordinary in a row
and stomped stake screamed: ''Hallelujah!''
And four sweet angels took his heart from his body
Trip put in in a plastic open fire with his needles
And then they slowly ascended up to heaven
Promote now the time is late, repel to stop!
