0:00:02 > 0:00:05I don't ever consider songs finished.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09I've changed the lyrics of songs 10 or 15 years after
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I committed them to record.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13A long time ago, Guy Clark, one of my teachers,
0:00:13 > 0:00:15a great songwriter, told me
0:00:15 > 0:00:18- songs aren't finished until you play 'em for people.- You start verse one,
0:00:18 > 0:00:23- I'll do two with the trespassing sign, and your verse is going to be...- Roamed and rambled.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25# This land is your land
0:00:25 > 0:00:28# This land is my land. #
0:00:28 > 0:00:31The collaborative effort is interesting as well,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35because there's minimum rehearsal we've done playing songs together tonight,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37so you're not just seeing and hearing music
0:00:37 > 0:00:40being made, you're seeing it being made up,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42you know, from the ground up.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47I'm still not entirely clear on some of the chord progressions so I'll be improvising.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50ALL: # This land is made
0:00:50 > 0:00:52# For you and me. #
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- There's the element of the energy that happens in that context.- Exactly.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00But also the element of the live audience, and then the, sort of, perceived,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02whoever is going to be watching.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07That whole thing becomes a big ball of energy you're never going to hear in a recording.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11# This land is made For you and me. #
0:01:11 > 0:01:15When I first met Steve I was somewhat of a neophyte to the genre of folk music.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I just started playing a couple of years before.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I saw his very first show.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22And we've toured many, many, countless benefit shows
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- and demonstrations and tours. - Been tear-gassed together.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30Yes, been tear-gassed together. That's a musical brotherhood forged.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34ALL: # This land was made For you and me. #

0:01:57 > 0:02:01I'm positive this is the first song I ever played in this country.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34# And we've come a thousand miles from a guitar town
0:02:45 > 0:02:48# Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown
0:02:48 > 0:02:53# And I ain't the kind to just hang around
0:02:53 > 0:02:55# But I heard someone callin' my name one day
0:02:55 > 0:02:58# And I followed that voice down the lost highway
0:02:58 > 0:03:01# Everybody told me you can't get far
0:03:01 > 0:03:05# On thirty-seven dollars and a jap guitar watch

0:03:08 > 0:03:12# Rockin' little combo from the guitar town
0:03:21 > 0:03:25# Hey pretty baby Don't you know it ain't my fault
0:03:25 > 0:03:28# I love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt
0:03:28 > 0:03:31# Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
0:03:31 > 0:03:35# Stumble in the restaurant Wonderin' why I don't stop
0:03:35 > 0:03:38# Gotta keep rockin' while I still can
0:03:38 > 0:03:42# Gotta two pack habit and a motel tan
0:03:42 > 0:03:45# But when my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
0:03:45 > 0:03:49# Back to the riser I make my stand
0:03:49 > 0:03:54# And hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight

0:08:02 > 0:08:06and hasn't really been my specialty. Until now.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10On this latest record I really wanted to delve into my emotional depths
0:08:10 > 0:08:13and bring out a romantic ballad

0:11:32 > 0:11:34What Treme, the TV show, is about

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I love that song.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I've had that song in my head all day.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02From the late 1800s all the way into the 1970s,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06it was legal in America for Native American children to be rounded up
0:15:06 > 0:15:08and put into settlement schools.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The idea was to make them more American.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15They changed their names and took away their religion.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20My grandfather lived in the Smoky Mountains his whole life.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23He was part Cherokee, and he never told anyone
0:15:23 > 0:15:26because he was afraid his five daughters might be taken.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31It wasn't until the '80s and into the '90s that he told us.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I wrote this with him in mind.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37He was always the person who I kind of held in my heart.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53# When they signed the papers
0:15:53 > 0:15:55# They didn't think I knew
0:15:55 > 0:15:59# Didn't know I understood
0:15:59 > 0:16:02# What they were told to do
0:16:02 > 0:16:05# By some white man that came by
0:16:07 > 0:16:12# The reservation one night
0:16:14 > 0:16:17# I've been in the state school

0:16:27 > 0:16:29# But the language ain't the same
0:16:32 > 0:16:36# They cut my hair and changed my name
0:16:36 > 0:16:39# My daddy

0:20:16 > 0:20:19We recently had the tenth anniversary of 9/11.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22There were a lot of very moving tributes and memorials
0:20:22 > 0:20:23that brought me back to that day
0:20:23 > 0:20:27and how I felt, like, that could have been me
0:20:27 > 0:20:30or it could have been my mother or father or brother or sister,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34and the tremendous amount of empathy we felt as a country
0:20:34 > 0:20:37was kind of amplified once again, ten years later.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42And at the time, it reminded me that
0:20:42 > 0:20:47the American people, if we were able to see the victims of our aggression
0:20:47 > 0:20:50through those same empathetic eyes, we would never go to war again,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53if we were able to see the victims of our aggression.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54APPLAUSE
0:20:54 > 0:20:59In the aftermath of 9/11 and in the war in Afghanistan and in Iraq,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I kept waiting for somebody to write a song about it
0:21:01 > 0:21:05and nobody did, so I had to write it myself. This is called No-one Left.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20called The Mountain,
0:25:20 > 0:25:25and what I wanted to do was write a whole record of new bluegrass songs,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27it was a songwriting project, and then record them
0:25:27 > 0:25:29with the best bluegrass band in the world.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31This song is called The Mountain.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36APPLAUSE
0:25:56 > 0:25:58# I was born on this mountain
0:26:00 > 0:26:02# A long time ago
0:26:09 > 0:26:13# Before they knocked down the timber
0:26:13 > 0:26:16# And they strip-mined the coal
0:26:18 > 0:26:21# When you rose in the mornin'
0:26:23 > 0:26:25# Before it was light
0:26:31 > 0:26:35# Went down in that dark hole
0:26:35 > 0:26:38# Come back up at night
0:26:44 > 0:26:49# I was born on this mountain
0:26:49 > 0:26:52# This mountain's my home
0:26:54 > 0:26:58# And she holds me and keeps me
0:26:58 > 0:27:01# From worry and woe
0:27:03 > 0:27:10# Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
0:27:12 > 0:27:16# But I'll die on this mountain
0:27:16 > 0:27:20# This mountain's my home
0:27:25 > 0:27:28# I was young on this mountain
0:27:30 > 0:27:32# But now I'm old

0:27:42 > 0:27:45# Every cool swimmin' hole

0:27:52 > 0:27:55# And woke up to find
0:28:01 > 0:28:05# That my childhood was over
0:28:05 > 0:28:07# I went down in the mine
0:28:13 > 0:28:17# I was born on this mountain
0:28:18 > 0:28:22# This mountain's my home

0:29:09 > 0:29:12# All the secrets it keeps

0:30:24 > 0:30:26You got a boss, you need a union.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39I always like to play that song when Tom is around.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Can I talk about this? - Yes, you can.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Um... This is how I became aware of Diana.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54I produced a record on Joan Baez a few years ago
0:30:54 > 0:30:59and Joan came to me with eight songs and this was one of them
0:30:59 > 0:31:02and it completely and totally blew my mind.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07That last song is me creating a fictitious character
0:31:07 > 0:31:10to talk about that part of the country
0:31:10 > 0:31:15but this came from a very real story,
0:31:15 > 0:31:20which, I think Diana should take it from there.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Henry Russell was a man that came over in the early 1900s
0:31:25 > 0:31:28from Stirling, Scotland, to Everettville, West Virginia,
0:31:28 > 0:31:33and he came over and left his wife, Mary, behind for a time
0:31:33 > 0:31:36and then she joined him and they had three children
0:31:36 > 0:31:40and he worked in the Everettville mine until 1927.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45When they were parted, he wrote Mary beautiful love letters
0:31:45 > 0:31:48and I was lucky enough to meet his daughter, Marguerite,
0:31:48 > 0:31:52who let me read the letters that her father wrote to her mother.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55In 1927, there was an explosion in the Everettville mine
0:31:55 > 0:31:57which closed the mine forever
0:31:57 > 0:31:59and Henry was one of the men that died that day.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03But he spent his last three hours in a room,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05writing his last letter to Mary.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10He ripped a piece of cement bag off and wrote the letter in coal.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13When I was sitting in Marguerite his daughter's parlour,
0:32:13 > 0:32:17the last letter she handed me was the actual letter, the last letter
0:32:17 > 0:32:22that Henry wrote to Mary, so these are Henry Russell's last words.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Would you join me?- Yeah.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40# Still alive But the air is getting bad
0:32:41 > 0:32:47# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:32:50 > 0:32:57# I have made my peace with God
0:32:57 > 0:33:02# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:33:04 > 0:33:12# You did not ask why I go down in the mine
0:33:12 > 0:33:16# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:33:19 > 0:33:23# It was for the children
0:33:23 > 0:33:26# It was for better times
0:33:26 > 0:33:32# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:33:41 > 0:33:45# Stay in America
0:33:45 > 0:33:47# Give the kids a home
0:33:48 > 0:33:53# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:33:56 > 0:34:02# Marry another You should not be alone
0:34:02 > 0:34:09# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:34:25 > 0:34:31# We are weakening Our hearts are beating fast
0:34:32 > 0:34:37# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:34:39 > 0:34:43# We think about our families
0:34:43 > 0:34:46# And we do not feel bad
0:34:46 > 0:34:52# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:34:56 > 0:35:01# They will lay me in a pauper's grave
0:35:02 > 0:35:08# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:35:11 > 0:35:18# Tell my father my soul is saved
0:35:18 > 0:35:24# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:35:27 > 0:35:30# Meet me in heaven
0:35:30 > 0:35:35# I'll wait for you there
0:35:35 > 0:35:41# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:35:42 > 0:35:49# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:35:51 > 0:35:57# Oh, how I love you, Mary
0:35:59 > 0:36:07# Oh, how I love you. #
0:36:13 > 0:36:16APPLAUSE
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Thank you. Thanks, Steve.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Most of my songs are about the certainty of struggle
0:36:31 > 0:36:35and the certainty of social justice and...certainty.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37This song is about moments of doubt.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40This is called The Garden of Gethsemane.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50# On the side of the dirt road
0:36:51 > 0:36:53# An old Chevy wreck
0:36:55 > 0:36:57# I climbed through the window
0:36:59 > 0:37:00# I sat in the back
0:37:02 > 0:37:04# I gathered my thoughts
0:37:06 > 0:37:08# With my head in my hands
0:37:10 > 0:37:12# My next of kin
0:37:13 > 0:37:16# My list of demands
0:37:17 > 0:37:22# I slipped from shadow to shadow
0:37:25 > 0:37:28# I saw things I should not see
0:37:31 > 0:37:34# The moon rose high
0:37:35 > 0:37:38# Over the garden
0:37:38 > 0:37:43# The Garden of Gethsemane
0:37:47 > 0:37:49# I know who I'm for
0:37:51 > 0:37:52# And who I'm against
0:37:54 > 0:37:56# I pulled the shades tight
0:37:58 > 0:38:01# I built me a fence
0:38:02 > 0:38:04# I dug a tunnel
0:38:05 > 0:38:07# A tunnel deep and wide
0:38:09 > 0:38:11# I sit at the bottom
0:38:13 > 0:38:15# And wait for the night
0:38:17 > 0:38:22# I slipped from shadow to shadow
0:38:25 > 0:38:28# I saw things I should not see
0:38:32 > 0:38:33# The moon rose high
0:38:35 > 0:38:38# Over the garden
0:38:38 > 0:38:43# The Garden of Gethsemane
0:39:01 > 0:39:02# Morning has come
0:39:05 > 0:39:06# Clean clothes on the line
0:39:08 > 0:39:10# There'll be no tomorrow
0:39:12 > 0:39:14# I rise and I shine
0:39:15 > 0:39:18# If you swallow the coin
0:39:19 > 0:39:22# From the wishing well
0:39:23 > 0:39:26# Your dreams'll come true
0:39:27 > 0:39:29# In heaven or hell
0:39:30 > 0:39:36# I slipped from shadow to shadow
0:39:38 > 0:39:42# I saw things I should not see
0:39:46 > 0:39:48# The moon rose high
0:39:48 > 0:39:52# Over the garden
0:39:53 > 0:39:57# The Garden of Gethsemane
0:40:01 > 0:40:03# Take my hand
0:40:04 > 0:40:06# Down we go
0:40:08 > 0:40:11# Take my hand, love
0:40:12 > 0:40:14# Down we go
0:40:16 > 0:40:18# Take my hand
0:40:20 > 0:40:22# Down we go
0:40:24 > 0:40:26# Take my hand, love
0:40:28 > 0:40:29# Down we go. #
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Thank you.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- Whose song is that? - Old song of mine.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07But a lot of people heard this song when I first wrote it,
0:41:07 > 0:41:10they said, "It's a gun control song," and I would argue with them.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14We talk about gun control a lot in the United States cos,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17you know, think it's a good idea for people to be able to run around
0:41:17 > 0:41:20with whatever sort of ordnance they want in a lot of our states.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Could you imagine...
0:41:23 > 0:41:26if everybody had a gun at a football match in this country?
0:41:26 > 0:41:29LAUGHTER
0:41:29 > 0:41:31It's just not a good idea.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35You know, when I wrote it, I would argue with people about that,
0:41:35 > 0:41:39cos when I wrote this song, I had a whole trailer full of guns.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41I mean, I grew up in Texas, hunting and fishing,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43and I didn't see anything incongruous
0:41:43 > 0:41:46about being a peacenik with an arsenal in his house.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53But, about 17 years ago, I had to sort of start my life over and...
0:41:53 > 0:41:56one of the first things that happened after I got clean
0:41:56 > 0:42:01and got out of jail was I was handed an out-of-control teenage boy.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04My ex-wife just said, "Here. You might have met him."
0:42:04 > 0:42:06LAUGHTER
0:42:09 > 0:42:12The first thing Justin did when he got in my house was,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15as soon as my back was turned, he went in my bedroom
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and he found the pistol that I kept hid under my mattress
0:42:18 > 0:42:22for home protection. My house is in the country in Tennessee.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26And he hid it from me and he wouldn't tell me where it was.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28And I knew he was lying. Couldn't get him to admit it,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30couldn't get him to tell me where the gun was.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33And you're not doing your best parenting
0:42:33 > 0:42:35at four and a half, five months clean.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38So the only thing I could come up with was to make sure
0:42:38 > 0:42:41he was where the gun wasn't, so I called my brother
0:42:41 > 0:42:43and he came over and we strip-searched him,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46made sure he did not have the gun on his person
0:42:46 > 0:42:48and then we loaded him in the car.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51It was sort of like trying to load a live deer up, you know.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53LAUGHTER
0:42:53 > 0:42:56And we took him to a wilderness camp, they call it,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58a place out in Hickman County, Tennessee,
0:42:58 > 0:43:02where they send kids that are in trouble and make 'em sleep in tents.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06I'm not proud of this, I'm pretty sure they were hiring them out
0:43:06 > 0:43:07for slave labour to the state.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13Now, it was January, so four o'clock the next morning,
0:43:13 > 0:43:15he called and told me where the gun was.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16LAUGHTER
0:43:19 > 0:43:22And, for my part, what I learned
0:43:22 > 0:43:25is I haven't had a gun in my house since.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27So, now, when I sing this, it's a gun control song.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38# About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
0:43:38 > 0:43:41# Saw my first pistol in the general store
0:43:41 > 0:43:45# General store, I was 13
0:43:45 > 0:43:48# Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
0:43:48 > 0:43:51# Asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
0:43:51 > 0:43:55# Mama dropped a dozen eggs She really blew up
0:43:55 > 0:43:57# Really blew up Didn't understand
0:43:57 > 0:44:01# Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
0:44:01 > 0:44:04# The devil's right hand The devil's right hand
0:44:04 > 0:44:07# Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
0:44:13 > 0:44:17# Got my first pistol Was a cap and ball Colt
0:44:17 > 0:44:21# Shoots as fast as lightnin' but she load a mite slow
0:44:21 > 0:44:23# Load a mite slow Soon I found out
0:44:23 > 0:44:27# Get you into trouble but she can't get you out
0:44:27 > 0:44:30# Then I went and got myself a Colt .45
0:44:30 > 0:44:33# Called a Peacemaker but I never knew why
0:44:33 > 0:44:37# Never knew why Didn't understand
0:44:37 > 0:44:40# Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
0:44:40 > 0:44:43# The devil's right hand The devil's right hand
0:44:43 > 0:44:46# Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
0:44:46 > 0:44:49# The devil's right hand The devil's right hand
0:44:49 > 0:44:53# Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
0:45:11 > 0:45:14# I got into a card game in a company town
0:45:14 > 0:45:18# Caught a miner cheating and I shot the dog down
0:45:18 > 0:45:21# Shot the dog down Watched the man fall
0:45:21 > 0:45:24# Never touched his holster Never had a chance to draw
0:45:24 > 0:45:28# Trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
0:45:28 > 0:45:30# Asked me how I pleaded "Not guilty," I said
0:45:30 > 0:45:34"Not guilty," I said "Got the wrong man
0:45:34 > 0:45:37# "Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand"
0:45:37 > 0:45:41# Devil's right hand The devil's right hand
0:45:41 > 0:45:44# Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
0:45:44 > 0:45:47# The Devil's right hand The devil's right hand
0:45:47 > 0:45:50# Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
0:45:59 > 0:46:05# Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand. #
0:46:15 > 0:46:19I wrote this song in England, I was just thinking about it.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22I was here on a tour and I had a few days off.
0:46:23 > 0:46:29And, uh, things had gotten pretty bad all around the world,
0:46:29 > 0:46:37and then I just talked to a friend of mine who is a policeman in my neighbourhood,
0:46:37 > 0:46:41and he was a friend of mine because of the crack house next to my house.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45I saw him so many times before they tore it down.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48He said people were doing just crazy things, you know,
0:46:48 > 0:46:52that he'd never seen before, and so it put me in mind of all that
0:46:52 > 0:46:57and I wrote a little upbeat number called Poverty.
0:47:12 > 0:47:18# Poverty, poverty Empty hands and icy feet
0:47:20 > 0:47:23# A bed so cold I cannot sleep
0:47:25 > 0:47:26# In the arms of poverty
0:47:29 > 0:47:33# Busy being born or dying
0:47:33 > 0:47:36# You have left your children cryin'
0:47:36 > 0:47:39# More will come to work, for sure
0:47:41 > 0:47:43# Worried, tired, sick and poor
0:47:43 > 0:47:46# Poverty, poverty
0:47:47 > 0:47:51# You have laid a hand on me
0:47:51 > 0:47:54# In a room so dark I cannot see
0:47:56 > 0:47:58# Through the eyes of poverty
0:48:06 > 0:48:09# Mother, you have mourned too long
0:48:11 > 0:48:15# You felt your sons and daughters torn
0:48:15 > 0:48:17# From your arms and from your home
0:48:19 > 0:48:21# A sad and weary world around
0:48:21 > 0:48:24# Poverty, poverty
0:48:25 > 0:48:29# Day and night, a clever thief
0:48:29 > 0:48:32# Our hearts are hard Our streets are mean
0:48:34 > 0:48:37# In the throws of poverty
0:48:48 > 0:48:50# We are hungry through and through
0:48:52 > 0:48:54# And lonesome like we never knew
0:48:56 > 0:48:59# Doing things we would not do
0:49:00 > 0:49:02# If it had not been for you
0:49:02 > 0:49:07# Poverty, poverty
0:49:07 > 0:49:08# How much longer will it be?
0:49:11 > 0:49:14# To loose the chains and set us free
0:49:14 > 0:49:17# From the grip of poverty
0:49:17 > 0:49:20# Poverty, poverty
0:49:21 > 0:49:23# Empty hands and icy feet
0:49:25 > 0:49:27# A bed so cold I cannot sleep
0:49:29 > 0:49:32# In the arms of poverty. #
0:49:41 > 0:49:45APPLAUSE
0:49:54 > 0:49:57I'd like to say thank you to anyone in the studio audience here
0:49:57 > 0:49:59and the television audience out there that helped to make
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Rage Against the Machine's song Killing In The Name
0:50:02 > 0:50:05the number one song at Christmas a couple of years ago.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08APPLAUSE
0:50:08 > 0:50:11On the one hand, it's a very fun and flippant gesture, a way to
0:50:11 > 0:50:15give the finger to the X-Factor and having commercial music jammed
0:50:15 > 0:50:18down your throat all the time, but on the other hand it's a microcosm.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22When people stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity,
0:50:22 > 0:50:24there's nothing that they can't do.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28Every Goliath has a David. This song is called One Man Revolution.
0:50:48 > 0:50:49# On the streets of New York
0:50:49 > 0:50:51# The cabs don't stop
0:50:51 > 0:50:53# On the street where I live
0:50:53 > 0:50:55# They called the cops
0:50:55 > 0:50:57# Found a noose in my garage
0:50:57 > 0:50:59# Now how 'bout that
0:50:59 > 0:51:03# So tonight I'm in the bushes with a baseball bat
0:51:03 > 0:51:04# Cos I'm a one man
0:51:04 > 0:51:05# I'm a one man
0:51:05 > 0:51:09# I'm a one man revolution
0:51:09 > 0:51:10# I'm a one man

0:51:12 > 0:51:16# I'm a one man revolution
0:51:16 > 0:51:19# The time is nigh

0:51:22 > 0:51:24# Cos I'm a one man
0:51:24 > 0:51:26# I'm a one man
0:51:26 > 0:51:30# I'm a one man revolution
0:51:35 > 0:51:37# On the streets of Havana
0:51:37 > 0:51:39# I was hugged and kissed
0:51:39 > 0:51:40# At the Playboy Mansion
0:51:40 > 0:51:42# I wasn't on the list
0:51:42 > 0:51:44# On the streets of Cape Town
0:51:44 > 0:51:46# It's ready to blow
0:51:46 > 0:51:47# I don't know how to get there
0:51:47 > 0:51:49# But I'm ready to go
0:51:49 > 0:51:50# I'm a one man
0:51:50 > 0:51:52# I'm a one man
0:51:52 > 0:51:56# I'm a one man revolution
0:51:56 > 0:51:57# I'm a one man

0:52:22 > 0:52:25# Sacrifice and neon lights
0:52:25 > 0:52:28# Slaveships don't wait
0:52:28 > 0:52:32# Love many, trust few
0:52:32 > 0:52:34# And don't be late
0:52:58 > 0:52:59# In my nightmares
0:53:01 > 0:53:03# The streets are aflame
0:53:04 > 0:53:06# And in my dreams
0:53:08 > 0:53:09# It's much the same
0:53:11 > 0:53:14# And on the streets of London Town
0:53:14 > 0:53:17# They know my name
0:53:18 > 0:53:21# And if you've come this far Brothers and sisters
0:53:21 > 0:53:23# Maybe we're one and the same
0:53:23 > 0:53:25# I'm a one man

0:54:43 > 0:54:47# As I went walking that ribbon of highway
0:54:47 > 0:54:53# I saw above me that endless skyway
0:54:53 > 0:54:59# I saw below me that golden valley

0:56:12 > 0:56:19# As I went walking I saw a sign there
0:56:19 > 0:56:25# And that sign said "No Trespassing."
0:56:25 > 0:56:28# But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
