The Trial Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

The prosecutor: 

Good morning, worm, your honour. 

The crown will plainly show 

The prisoner who stands now before you 

Was caught red handed showing feelings, 

Showing feelings of an almost human nature. 

Ah, this will not do! 

Call the schoolmaster! 

Teacher: 

I always said he'd come to no good 

In the end, your honour 

If they'd let me have my way I could 

Have flayed him into shape. 

But my hands were tied, 

The bleeding hearts and artists 

Let him get away with murder, 

Let me hammer him today!

The defendant: 

Crazy toys in the attic, I'm crazy 

Truly gone fishing. 

They must have taken my marbles away! 

Chorus: 

Crazy toys in the attic, he is crazy. 

The prosecutor: 

Call the defendant's wife! 

The wife: 

You little shit, you're in it now, 

I hope they throw away the key. 

You should have talked to me more often than you did, 

But no, you had to go your on way. 

Have you broken any homes up lately ? 

Just five minutes, worm, your honour, 

Him and me alone!

Babe ........ 

Come to mother, 

Baby, let me hold you on my arms. 

M'lord, I never wanted him 

To get in any trouble. 

Why'd he ever had to leave me ? 

Worm, your honour, let me take him home! 

The defendant: 

Crazy over the rainbow, I am crazy 

Bars in the window. 

There must have been a door there in the wall 

When I came in! 

Chorus: 

Crazy over the rainbow, he is crazy. 

The judge: 

The evidence before the court is incontrovertible, 

There's no need for the jury to retire. 

In all my years of judging, I have never heard before 

Of someone more deserving the full penalty of law. 

The way you made them suffer, 

Your exquisite wife and mother, 

Fills me with the urge to defecate! 

Since my friend you have revealed your deepest fear, 

I sentence you to be exposed before your peers! 

Tear down the wall!!! 

Chorus: 

Tear down the wall!!!! 

Tear down the wall!!!! 

Tear down the wall!!!! 

Tear down the wall!!!!
