It is one of their classics I fell in love with the whole album ! Children was voted one of the best albums of all time . Beyond the pale , tower of strength , kingdom come , wing and prayer ...what a masterpiece!
It is still.my favourite opening track to any album. Takes me back to being 16 years old. Saved my life then and still does today. Was just driving home in the rain in floods of tears listening to it today. Not listen to it for a long time. Today I needed to. Thank you 😊
Cold still waters running deep Pale before the eyes Ravaged By the hands that feed Thunder clouds the skies Drifting with the tide Floating with the stream The howling winds have gathered strength From a whisper to a scream Sell me down the river And out to sea Cast me adrift and set me to sail Just one last kiss before raising hell Beyond the pale Beyond the pale Heed to Neptune's calling deceived in fable and lore Learn from treacherous bibles Of murder, hate and war Searching for the tears In an ocean of rain The yearning of the raging sea beckons once again Sell me down the river And out to sea Cast me adrift and set me to sail Just one last kiss before raising hell Beyond the pale Beyond the pale Gathering of the storm And the winds are blowing wild Sweeping over cross and creed, country, color and child Mother nature cries for love Her children lost at sea And as the waves take me away Say a prayer for liberty Sell me down the river And out to sea Cast me adrift and set me to sail Just one last kiss before raising hell Beyond the pale Beyond the pale Beyond the pale Beyond the pale
Amazing, i have seen this band for 3 Times in portugal ... for when a return to a Portugal concert ... I hope soon... This song is one of my favorites ... Beyond the pale !!! :D
Been listening to this almost everyday for the past 3 months since I have been working from home, and it takes me back to being a carefree 13 year old during the late 80's and having the Children album. There are some killer tracks on that album, including A Wing and a Prayer and Kingdom Come, but this track is the standout in my opinion. Is that Duff Mckagan from Guns N Roses in the video?
