Subject: RE: wonder where the lions are From: Callie Date: 01 Apr 01 - 08:29 AM It's by Bruce Cockburn, a Canadian. It came out around 1984 if I recall correctly. Can't remember the whole thing, it's been a while, but the bits that I remember are:
Sun's up (mm mm), looks ok Hope that helps! Callie |

Subject: RE: wonder where the lions are From: Amos Date: 01 Apr 01 - 11:17 AM The lyrics can be found at this page. Regards, A WONDERING WHERE THE LIONS ARE (Bruce Cockburn) Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay The world survives into another day And I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Walls windows trees, waves coming through You be in me and I'll be in you Together in eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Up among the firs where it smells so sweet Or down in the valley where the river used to be I got my mind on eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are...Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take Pointing a finger at eternity I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun, Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun (Should be!) they got me thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are...Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay One of these days we're going to sail away, going to sail into eternity some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... |

Subject: RE: wonder where the lions are From: mousethief Date: 02 Apr 01 - 12:26 AM Rats. A Brooce thread, and I missed it. It actually charted on the US charts; Brooce's first such (highest up the charts, I believe, was Rocket Launcher, circa 1983/4). The song "Wondering Where the Lions Are" is loosely based on the Charles Williams novel, "The Place of the Lion." Charles Williams novels are really weird. This one is no exception. Thanks for the tab! Alex |
