Lyrics:
i got two strong arms
blessings of babylon
with time to carry on
and try
for sins and false alarms
so to america the brave
wise men save

near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right
but he'll never, never fight over you

i got plans for us
nights in the scullery
and days instead of me
i only know what to discuss
of for anything but light
wise men fighting over you

it's not me you see
pieces of valentine
with just a song of mine
to keep from burning history
seasons of gasoline and gold
wise men fold

near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right
but he'll never, never fight over you

i got time to kill
sly looks in corridors
without a plan of yours
a blackbird sings on bluebird hill
thanks to the calling of the wild
wise mens child

near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right
but he'll never, never fight over you

Best thing about the 2000's is being able to watch music from the 1980's

Nik Kershaw is, simply put, quintessential 80's! He 80's harder than anyone on his block! GODS BLESS YOU NIK! 🙏🏼

Why do I love this Song so much? I was born in 2005 and love the music my mom listened to as a kid... Most of my classmates say, their parents grew up with their childrens music. Yup...mine didn't...my dad got me into Queen and my mum into this...

This was one of my late brothers favorite songs. He passed in 2006 and when I listen to it, I would like to think he's nearby listening to it also. Brings back good memories.

The beautiful note phrasings as he sings the verse, beautiful melody, very strange song as well.

somethings sadly fade away...hopefully someone recovers this and brings it back to light and it be well received... ode to the experiment age and forgotten age of music that is the 60's to the 80's when there was very little boundries....may that age come back....one day...

I heard this song when I was a kid in the 80s, never knew who was the singer nor could make anything out of the lyrics. Then in the past few years, the old familiar tune would come into my head and each time I would not be able to remember it after a few moments. This went on and on. And today, I was finally able to capture it online and purchased it in iTunes. Now I have it forever -- along with the rest of my 80s music collection. Hurray!

Me encanta este tema de Nik Kershaw es una pasada, uno de los mejores temas de pop de los 80 sin duda alguna.I LOVE THIS MUSIC !!!

Being in the States, I never understood why Nik didn’t get quite the recognition here like he did in his native UK. As a musician myself, I have much admiration for his creative abilities as both a lyricist and musician.
