´´Well, I´m so glad to be here in your beautiful city tonight….but
we´re not here on a casual visit....or to go to the football game.....we´re
here tonight with a purpose in mind ….that´s right.....now it´s
been a long journey….I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´) I hear
a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´) I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´)
I can hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´) I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo
woo´) I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´) I hear a train (crowd:
´Woo woo´) I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´) I hear
a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´) I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´)
I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´) I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo
woo´) I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´) coming down the tracks
(crowd: ´Woo woo´) I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´)
I hear a train (crowd: ´Woo woo´)....I....I ....I....(lists the
miles and the towns he´s been) Manchester and back…but everywhere
I´ve gone I´ve seen confusion....everywhere I´ve gone I´ve
seen people who´ve been downhearted….dispirited…dispossessed….they´ve
been analyzed, stigmatised, retropsychedelicized, downsized and I´m here
tonight to let you know that if your soul has bad credit, well, it´s good
here.....I want you to know that if your heart´s running on empty, pull
on up to the tanks because we´re serving high-test supreme….if your
spirit is bankrupt, we´re here tonight to raise that debt up off you and
to set you free…why ?… why ?….why ?….why ?....because
that´s my job….I want to re-educate you, I want to, I want to regenerate
you, I want to, I want to reconfiscate you, I want to, I want to rededicate
you, I want to, I want to, I want to reliberate you, I want to, want to, I want
to reliberate you with the power, with the promise, with the power, the promise,
the power, the promise, the mystery….the ministry of rock and roll !....now
I wanna tell you that I can´t, I want to tell you that I can´t,
I wanna tell you that I cannot, that I cannot, that I cannot....promise you
life everlasting but I.....got something better....I wanna promise you life.....right
now !....and all you´ve got to do is say ´I´....´´
