Story behind the song
This is a song that's taken me a very long time to write. It is, perhaps, a an angrier reworking of Wordsworth's "Intimations of Immortality." Nevertheless, I end it on a hopeful note. Maybe - maybe we'll get it right when the comet comes by again.
Lyrics
Planes fall, people are killed by bombs The very best news anchor must go on Vengeance for the father by the son Trailing clouds of glory do we come Someday all the madness will be done Trailing clouds of glory do we come Ploughshares beaten into swords Raining fire from a faraway keyboard Who is the good guy, well, who won? Trailing clouds of glory do we come Someday all the madness will be done Trailing clouds of glory do we come The new one, he will stop the war Unless ita019s off the news, cause wea019re all bored Nothing is new under the sun Trailing clouds of glory do we come Someday all the madness will be done Trailing clouds of glory do we come Maybe when the cometa019s back again Wea019ll have learned to be women and men Coming round the other side of the sun Trailing clouds of glory when it comes Someday all the madness will be done Trailing clouds of glory do we come
