0:01:39 > 0:01:44# I am an old man

0:01:44 > 0:01:52# Who has experienced much

0:02:07 > 0:02:14# I have been a man of action and have fought for my King

0:02:14 > 0:02:21# And country at sea

0:02:25 > 0:02:30# I have also read books

0:02:30 > 0:02:36# And studied and pondered

0:02:37 > 0:02:45# And tried to fathom eternal truth

0:02:59 > 0:03:04# Much good has been shown me

0:03:04 > 0:03:08# And much evil

0:03:08 > 0:03:12# And the good has never been perfect

0:03:12 > 0:03:20# There is always some flaw in it Some defect

0:03:20 > 0:03:26# Some imperfection in the divine image

0:03:26 > 0:03:31# Some fault in the angelic song

0:03:31 > 0:03:37# Some stammer in the divine speech

0:03:39 > 0:03:44# So that the evil still has something to do

0:03:44 > 0:03:52# With every human consignment to this planet of Earth

0:04:02 > 0:04:06# Oh, what have I done?

0:04:28 > 0:04:36# So much is confusion!

0:04:36 > 0:04:43# I have tried to guide others rightly

0:04:46 > 0:04:50# But I have been lost

0:04:50 > 0:04:58# On the infinite sea

0:05:01 > 0:05:09# The infinite sea

0:05:12 > 0:05:20# Who has blessed me? Who saved me?

0:05:29 > 0:05:35# In the summer of 1797 In the French wars

0:05:35 > 0:05:43# In the difficult and dangerous days after the Mutiny at the Nore

1:40:27 > 1:40:32# A common seaman but a subtle schemer

1:40:32 > 1:40:37# Plotting between decks, sapping loyalties

1:40:37 > 1:40:40# Corrupting mess mates

1:41:22 > 1:41:26# To a young novice You will understand

1:41:26 > 1:41:33# How their bright wonder and pretty twinkling

1:41:33 > 1:41:37# Would turn a simple boy

1:41:39 > 1:41:44# But he held firm

1:41:44 > 1:41:49# And came at once and handed them to me

1:41:49 > 1:41:55# How came the boy by gold? A common seaman

1:41:55 > 1:41:59# Strange story

1:42:00 > 1:42:03# What's his name?

1:42:03 > 1:42:06# His name is William Budd

1:42:12 > 1:42:16# Nay, you are mistaken!

1:42:39 > 1:42:44# I have seen very men in my time And I trust him

1:42:44 > 1:42:47# A man trap works under those ruddy-tipped daisies

1:42:47 > 1:42:52# Take heed what you say

1:42:52 > 1:42:59# There is a yardarm for a false witness

1:43:00 > 1:43:04# Sir, sir

1:43:04 > 1:43:08# Sir, your honour

1:43:08 > 1:43:10# No more, I will see the fellow at once

2:04:49 > 2:04:52# Ay, it comes and it goes

2:23:36 > 2:23:39# Give me a biscuit, too

2:23:48 > 2:23:51# I feel better, better

2:23:52 > 2:23:55# But you shouldn't have risked coming to see me

2:23:55 > 2:23:58# You'll get into trouble

2:23:58 > 2:24:04# All's trouble. The whole ship's trouble

2:24:04 > 2:24:06# And upside down

2:24:06 > 2:24:09# What for?

2:24:09 > 2:24:13# Some reckon to rescue you, Billy Boy

2:24:13 > 2:24:16# How they hated that Jemmy Legs!

2:24:16 > 2:24:18# They swear you shan't swing

2:24:18 > 2:24:22# I'll swing and they'll swing They love you

2:24:22 > 2:24:25# I'll swing and they'll swing They love you

2:24:25 > 2:24:30# Tell them that and stop them

2:24:34 > 2:24:40# Christ! I feel better

2:24:42 > 2:24:47# Done me a lot of good, a drink

2:24:47 > 2:24:51# And seeing a friend

2:24:51 > 2:24:58# Stopped me from thinking on what's no use

2:24:59 > 2:25:05# And dreaming what needn't be dreamt

2:25:06 > 2:25:12# And woken me up to face what must be

2:25:12 > 2:25:17# What must be

2:25:22 > 2:25:24# What's the day to be?

2:25:24 > 2:25:31# A fair day

2:25:31 > 2:25:38# We'd have caught that Frenchie on a fair day

2:25:38 > 2:25:42# Oh, that cursed mist!

2:25:42 > 2:25:45# That cursed mist!

2:25:45 > 2:25:49# Maybe you'll still catch her

2:25:51 > 2:25:54# You'd better be going now

2:25:56 > 2:26:01# Goodbye, Baby

2:26:01 > 2:26:05# Can't shake hands

2:26:06 > 2:26:11# Chaplain's been here before you

2:26:11 > 2:26:16# Kind, and good his story

2:26:16 > 2:26:23# Of the good boy hung and gone to glory

2:26:24 > 2:26:29# Hung for the likes of me

2:26:29 > 2:26:32# The likes of me

2:26:33 > 2:26:40# But I had to strike down that Jemmy Legs. It's fate

2:26:40 > 2:26:45# And Captain Vere has had to strike me down

2:26:45 > 2:26:47# Fate!

2:26:47 > 2:26:55# We're both in sore trouble, him and me, with great need for strength

2:26:55 > 2:26:58# And my trouble's soon ending

2:26:58 > 2:27:05# So I can't help him longer with his

2:27:05 > 2:27:10# Starry Vere, God bless him

2:27:10 > 2:27:15# And the clouds darker than night for us both

2:27:17 > 2:27:21# Dansker of the Indomitable

2:27:21 > 2:27:24# Help him, all of you

2:27:25 > 2:27:30# Dansker, goodbye! goodbye!

2:27:38 > 2:27:43# And farewell to ye, old Rights o'Man!

2:27:43 > 2:27:46# Never your joys no more

2:27:46 > 2:27:51# Farewell to this grand rough world!

2:27:51 > 2:27:56# Never more shipmates, no more sea

2:27:56 > 2:28:01# No looking down from the heights to the depths

2:28:01 > 2:28:07# But I've sighted a sail in the storm

2:28:07 > 2:28:12# The far-shining sail that's not fate

2:28:12 > 2:28:16# And I'm contented

2:28:16 > 2:28:21# I've seen where she's bound for

2:28:22 > 2:28:30# She has a land of her own where she'll anchor for ever

2:28:33 > 2:28:38# Oh, I'm contented

2:28:38 > 2:28:42# Don't matter now being hanged

2:28:42 > 2:28:45# Or being forgotten

2:28:45 > 2:28:48# And caught in the weeds

2:28:48 > 2:28:55# Don't matter now
