Lyrics - Logic Vs Emotion by Divine Comedy

I stood upon the listed bridge
Dividing different images
Logic vs =emotion
Mountain stream vs the ocean
Will we ever learn?
Logic vs =emotion
Politicians carry the motion
Will we ever learn?
I'll take you upstream,
Up to my origin;
My water clear as glass,
My beauty =everlasting
I was here before you -
A million years before you -
And
I =can only warn you
I'll be here when you're gone..."
Leave my house alone!
I won't leave my home!"
Said the old lady,
Kneeling =by the riverbank, crying"
Leave our valley alone!
You're destroying our =home!"
Chorus the creatures,
Watching as their paradise disappears
Under =the water
I'll take you downstream,
Down where they turn me green;
I suffer the =indignity
Of administering your poisons to the sea
The impurity of =maturity -
Teach them all the appreciation of beauty!
I stood upon the listed bridge
Dividing different images
Logic vs emotion
A =mountain stream feeding an ocean
Politicians go through the =motions
Displaying such a depth of devotion
Logic vs emotion
Seems to be a =lot of confusion
There is no foregone conclusion
There is no simple =solution
The answer lies in your emotions -
Let them speak to you!
