Luyện nghe bài hát This Strange Engine

There was a boy who into this world
At the hands of a holy woman in a holy
He wore a red coat and a bulldog
Saw them reflected in the of the lakes

in the shadow of the mountains
With the of disinfectant
Dusty old leather and the wood of his bed

No more than a baby swans on the river
Holding the hands of his
And the wax paper bag of bread

And his father on the side of the world
On the ship's railings and far away tide
With the silent dry of home thoughts from abroad
In his far away eyes, in his far eyes

The of the wax on the wooden floor
Mixture of polish and
No children to or to play with
Rows of empty hooks for the

An upright and the boys in the choir
Still him of just before he was born
him of just before he was breathing
Strange visions of God

Turn the cities into families, into villages of
in the air while they're sleeping
With houses invisible
Send to me the ghosts of
Whispering, "You're the one"

And ever I was a boy
I never felt that I
everything they did to me
Was an to see

How I would cope with the
In direction would I jump
I do it all the same
As the in the game?

Or would I it back at them
And not get caught up in their
And live to my own
And not be used, not be

To find the truths
It was going to take time
Thirty summers down the line

The wisdom of each passing
Seems to only to confuse
to serve only to confuse

Daddy came out the navy and us
Away to his dirty gray
And he worked down on a coal mine for Service
So he could be around

There was a magical in the chrome
Of the exhaust of his Triumph
And a warmth of oil and and the thrill
Of the hard corner tight

From the horizon came home from the to the mine
From the horizon to alive
Took his underground
his treasure in his faraway eyes

And one day as the boy lay
In the sunshine of a half afternoon
A cloud of bees with no aim and no brain
Found the boy, that his time had come

down out of the sky, stung him in the face
Again and again, blue pain, like baptism
Jesus like being chosen
Something no brain, blue pain
It's happening again, it's again

Oh, Mummy, Daddy, you sit a while with me?
Oh Mummy, Daddy, will you jog my
Tell me tales of Montego Bay, table mountain
Flying fish, banana spiders, pots of

And the sun on the
Setting like an thrown to deep water
From crimson to
But back tomorrow on the horizon

The blue pain fades to a
Where it doesn't fade, it blue
And stirred his red coat heart to strange engine
love, this love

This love, inconvenient
Blind, blood-diamond, this

love, this blind, blood-diamond
This puzzle I don't
knows no faith and tries
And fails and tries

at the sea
The dark deep
For one time and bleeds
And bleeds and for you

And lies and is to
And is
And is not the
And is true, is
Is true, is true and
[Incomprehensible] Is
