The Banks of the English Bay - Said The Whale

I’ve been around

But I’ve only been around for a short while

I’ve seen it all

I’ve seen all that I can on TV

That’s where the war begins

That’s where the art comes to an end

Now here we are standing on the shoreline looking out at the city

And jumping in, with a «someone's gotta test the water this year»

That’s where my memory ends

With sad facts and hard science

And the discoveries keep coming in

Sad facts keep coming in

The sad truth and the science

One step in the right direction

Won’t change the world but it’s a start

Someone’s gotta see the good in everything

And that there’s more than just the stars to think about

That’s where the art comes out

That’s where the truth of the heart comes out

That’s where my memories lay

On the banks of the English Bay

Beneath the tree-lined cityscape

The grey sky and the falling rain
