Lyrics
All the trees
And all the colour fields
Could be making me feel good
If I would just leave them alone
And let the beautiful be big and blue
And Hollywood could save the world
And we could be the stars
We could be the stars
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
Poetry has made a fool of me before
It tries to make me speak to you
With words that I can't understand
But underneath the poetry
Is where I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
Oh my love
So far away
All your dreams
Are here to stay
Oh to sleep in Monastir
And just be beautiful
Lets sleep in Monastir
I was not a boy
When the first eyes looked on Palestine
And you were not on my mind
When the first big bombs destroyed our kind
And now there is a forest
Crying out for tenderness
Now there is a hole in the sky
Big enough to close my eyes
There are hearts that beat for commerce
Hearts that beat for governments
And politics will eat itself
Like it mistakes our world for something else
I, I want to be with you
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
