Church, The - Metropolis Lyrics

There'll never be another quite like you
I'm so involved with everything you do
Don't say nothing good will ever come of this
Don't say the damage is worse than it is

Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you

You stare down at some crowd from your trapeze
And when you fell they fell down on their knees
And when you broke they scrambled for a piece
And when you spoke I felt their anger freeze

Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
And back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
And back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to

And it's only a day away
We could leave tonight
You could sleep along the way
Dream in black and white

I like it but the weather is ridiculous

I remember hearing this classic tune on NPR 8 years ago after work cruising on the highway. The Church are legends.

and I remember going to work in 1986 and hearing this song for the first time...I knew there was something special about this tune....still have it in the memory banks after all these years..it mellos you out before a stressfull day, even before work,,,js

There'll never be another quite like you
I'm so involved with everything you do
Don't say nothing good will ever come of this
Don't say the damage is worse than it is

Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you

You stare down at some crowd from your trapeze
And when you fell they fell down on their knees
And when you broke they scrambled for a piece
And when you spoke I felt their anger freeze

Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
Back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
Back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to
And it's only a day away
We could leave tonight
You could sleep along the way
Dream in black and white

thanks for the lyrics ,, was looking for awhile , wondering what they where saying..

🤗😍

Este tema es maravilloso y el vídeo espectacular!

Another atmospheric masterpiece from The Church. If you;re interested, here's my new interview with Church lead singer and songwriter Steve Kilbey. http://therenodispatch.blogspot.com/2019/05/steve-kilbey-is-still-under-milky-way.html

i never thought this was a great video. ok, i guess, but it does not do justice to this epic song, which is so majestic. the video is kind of a goof.

Finally, the original! As refreshing and uplifting as the day I first heard it.

Como na Austrália existem" Bandas" excelentes.The Church é mais um exemplo disso 👏👏👏

I will never forget my first reaction to this video of my then favorite song played almost incessantly on the radio back around 1987, 1988. I was awestruck by the simplicity AND grandiosity of this artistically inspired music video.

always liked them, a hint of Echo in them.

Decadent

SUBSCRIBE you buggers!

Brilliant!

A great song and video from a great band. Oh yeah, the lead singer, Steve Kilby is FINE and has a sexy voice.👧🏾👍🏾🤗🤗

I love his sexy voice!

This song always triggers my memories from college in 1990. I met and fell in love with a gal and this was our song for a little while.

MTV’s 120 Minutes used to play this a lot when it came out that year.

That's it, I'm getting a Rick!

His voice is like velvet

Marty Wilson Piper is one of the best guitarists ever, in my opinion. I still love the Church even after all these years.

I think this song is awesome, too.

Great song from a great album.

Prophet Messenger Kacou Philippe:
18. Today, on the whole face of the earth, no one can be saved outside what I Prophet Kacou Philippe, I preach. I am the only prophet that the Lord Jesus-Christ has sent to mankind. Like in the time of Noah, I, Kacou Philippe, slave of Jesus Christ, I am the only one and no one can be saved outside what I preach. [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”]

3. One day, I will be the judge of all mankind just as every prophet will be the judge for his generation. It is written that the apostles will only judge the twelve tribes of Israel for the period of time in which the Lord Jesus Christ was on the earth. Romans 2:16 says that Paul will be the judge of all mankind for the period of time in which he was on earth. And I, Kacou Philippe that speak to you, I will be your judge before God. Look at the presidents of the nations. Look at the religious leaders and the leaders of organizations such as the UN, the UNESCO, politicians, heads of corporations, of companies,… I, Kacou Philippe, it is by my Gospel that you will all be judged.

22. In the time of Noah, the work of God was to believe in Noah, the living prophet among his people. In the time of Moses, the work of God was to believe in Moses, the living prophet among his people. In the time of the Lord Jesus Christ, the work of God was to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the living Prophet among his people. And today, the work of God is to believe in Prophet Kacou Philippe, the living prophet in the midst of this generation. The work of God, it is John 6:28-29. And that is what is said in the vision of 1993, "…At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life".

Kc.4:15. Second seal: “And when it opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come and see. And another, a red horse, went forth; and to him that sat upon it, to him it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword.” Well. The four beasts of Joel 1:4 and Joel 2:25 and the four horsemen of Revelation 6 are identical. It’s one and the same horseman changing horses, ministries and aspects. Since the first seal, this horse is a church. It’s a white church like the true Church but when she started to kill the saints, she turned red. The red is the blood of the Apostles and the  Protestants. The red is the blood of the saints: 68 million Christians were put to death by the Roman Catholic church. And the pope claims himself as the faithful representative of God on earth, the sovereign pontiff between God and men, the patriarch of the Apostles. Names of blasphemy according to Revelation 13:1. He is the vicar of the heaven and the earth but in reality, he is the vicar of the heaven, of the earth and of the purgatory. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
