Child in Time (Live in Festival Hall, Osaka, 16th August 1972) Lyrics
Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, the good and the bad
See the blind man, he's shooting at the world
The bullets flying and they're taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you'd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, I'm cryin' for you day and night
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oh whoa-ho, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ow, I wanna hear you sing
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
[Instrumental Break 3:26 - 8:19]
Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between
The good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying, they're killing everyone
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have been bad
I bet you have been bad, you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
The line that's drawn between, the good and the bad
See the blind man, he's shooting at the world
The bullets flying and they're taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you'd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, I'm cryin' for you day and night
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oh whoa-ho, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ow, I wanna hear you sing
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
[Instrumental Break 3:26 - 8:19]
Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between
The good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying, they're killing everyone
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have been bad
I bet you have been bad, you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, I wanna be inside of you
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oh, oh, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, yeah, I gotta hear you sing
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
You're only about four foot six, but don't worry about it
'Cause there's always somebody smaller than you
You're about seven foot fourteen, don't worry about it either
[?]
There's always someone one million stone
Heavier than you [?]
Oo-oo-oo, I wanna be inside of you
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oh, oh, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, yeah, I gotta hear you sing
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
You're only about four foot six, but don't worry about it
