Transcript
00:17I was working part-time at the five a dime
00:21My boss was Mr. Mickey
00:24He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
00:28Cause I was a bit too leisurely
00:32It seems that I was busy doing something next to nothing
00:36But different from the day before
00:40That's when I saw her, oh yeah I saw her
00:43She walked in through the outdoor
00:46And wore a raspberry beret
00:51The kind you find in a second hand store
00:54A raspberry beret
00:58And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
01:02And wore a raspberry beret
01:04And I think I love her
01:22Built like she was
01:24She had the nerve to ask me
01:26If I planned to do her any harm
01:29So I took her for a ride on the back of my bike
01:33Down to old man Johnson's phone
01:35Said now overcast days never turn me on
01:40But something about the clouds in her mix
01:43Cause I took her for a ride on the back of my bike
01:47And she knew how to get her kicks
01:50She wore a raspberry beret
01:53The kind you find in a second hand store
01:58A raspberry beret
02:01And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
02:05Or a raspberry beret
02:07Or a raspberry beret
02:08I think I love her
02:18I think I love her
02:35Let's go
02:38Patrick
02:40Let's sing it loud this one
02:41Let's sing it loud
02:42Let's go Devon
02:43I know.
02:57I used to rule the world.
03:01The seas would rise when I gave the word.
03:04Now in the morning I sleep alone.
03:08I sweep the streets I used to own.
03:25I used to roll the dice.
03:29Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes.
03:32And listen as the crowd would sing.
03:36Now the old king is dead.
03:38I'll live the king.
03:39One minute I held the king.
03:43It's the walls that closed on me.
03:46I discovered that my castle stands.
03:50Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand.
03:54I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing.
03:58Roman cavalry cries are singing.
04:01He might have been on my sword and shield.
04:04I'm missionaries in a fall of fear.
04:08For some reason I can't explain.
04:11Once you've gone there was never, never.
04:15I don't know what it's missing.
04:18That was when I wrote the world.
04:32It was so wicked and wild.
04:36Good wind
04:38Threw down the doors
04:40To at the end
04:41The shadow windows
04:42And the sound of drums
04:45People couldn't believe
04:47What I've become
04:50Revolutionary
04:51This way
04:52Falling my head
04:54On a stairway
04:55I'm just a puppet
04:56On a lonely street
04:59I don't ever want to be true
05:02Now I
05:04Can't tell the bells to ring
05:06And all the cavalry tries to sing
05:11I'll be my best for a shield
05:14Missionaries in a foreign field
05:17Those are the ways that I can't stay
05:20I know the same deal will come right
05:24Yeah, the wrong place
05:26Now we smell the way the world
05:30Feast each other like
05:32So let's see everyone
05:32Come on, bro
05:34Oh
05:38Give it to us now
05:40Come on, hey
05:41Take it home
05:42Come on, hey
05:59I can't tell theند
06:01I can't tell the heavens
06:02everybody
06:02Oh, my God, we cry
06:05I ain't wild, no, my soul, no, my soul
06:09I wish I had a reason to fall in a few
06:13There's all things that I can't explain
06:16I know, see, we don't know
06:19And the longest one
06:23That was when I wrote the line
06:29Don't stop me, Wilma
06:31I see you on the show, it is beautiful
06:35All right, my brother
