37.T.V.Smith - The Lion & The Lamb (March of the Giants,1992)
With TV Smith's Explorers having imploded in late 1981 and the success of the Adverts receding further into the past, TV Smith launched his solo career in early 1982.Predominantly acoustic but full—blooded regardless, March of the Giants not only—retains the raw shock of Smith's. past, it enlarges and colorizes it. Before, the graphic violence of his music numbed the shock of Smith's lyrics. This time he's operating without anesthetic. You can only thank God that his knife isn't blunt. Rock 'n' roll with the lens cap off.
This is a live version recorded for WFMU radio session.
The Lion & The Lamb
I see you sparkle in the mud
Like a little diamond in the rough
Ready for the cut, ready for the cut
And you could either way
Potentially twoBoth sides battling for a place
Stand and say
I am the lion and the lamb
I am part of the plan
I am the lion and the lamb
And your glamour fades so quick
Soars up like a rocket
Down like a stick, down like a stick
Well, be strong when they want it
Be weak when they want it
If you Want to fit
Stand and say
I am the lion and the lamb
I am part of the plan
I am the lion and the lamb
Now you sparkle in the mud
Diamond in the rough
Ready for the cut
Some stay dull
Some stay blunt
But you will shine
And say
I am the lion and the lamb
I am part of the plan
I am the lion and the lamb.
