Elvis Costello With Burt Bacharach - God Give Me Strength

At least some great songs came out of the deliberate destruction of my life because some sneaky hiding dynasty has been planning a class war around me my entire life. He was Napoleon and I was Hortense Bonaparte and now we are both essentially prisoners of the usurpers who took down our dynasty over 200 years ago. You will never hear this story in a direct way anywhere else at this time because that dynasty has bought or threatened or compromised or FOOLED almost everyone. All we can do is fight every second of our lives and make the best of what is left of us.

I do hope the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity will face a real trial inside a real court room which has the authority to mete out JUSTICE. If we want it to happen enough, it will. What would it feel like seeing this trial FINALLY HAPPEN? How does it feel right now knowing the the Justice system has been MOSTLY bought and run into the ground? We can turn this seemingly neverending nightmare around through our GLOBAL unity.

They’ve only been getting away with murder without retribution because we have been allowing it. Their name calling games only work when we are stupid and afraid.

"God Give Me Strength" lyrics

Now I have nothing
So God give me strength
'Cos I'm weak in her wake
And if I'm strong I might still break
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength

I can't hold on to her
God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength

God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline
I might as well
Wipe her from my memory
Fracture the spell
As she becomes my enemy

Maybe I was washed out
Like a lip-print on his shirt
See, I'm only human
I want him to hurt
I want him
I want him to hurt

Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength
