Lyrics
The Bousbir of Casablanca
The Casbah of Algiers
Even the Barrio Chino of Barcelona
Could only boast of second place next to you
The harbour of the world
The secrets of the girl
The labours of a friend
A place to live the dream
To musical machines
Never seen again
Saint John
Your temples are broken
Saint John
Your sacraments are unspoken
Saint John
Your congregation is gone
But your testament lives on
Saint John
So they cleaned you up
They tried to break your soul
They took away your heart
In that winter cold
And now you're just a memory
Of a broken home
From a history book
To a field of ashes and stone
To build upon your grave
A place without a face
A place without a heart
But once you sold your dreams
To musical machines
Never seen again
Saint John
Your temples are broken
Saint John
Your sacraments are unspoken
Saint John
Your congregation is gone
But your testament lives on
Saint John
Les pianos mรฉcaniques jouent pour les marins
Dans le port de Marseille, dans les bars ร putains
Les pianos mรฉcaniques jouent pour les marins
Dans le port de Marseille, dans les bars ร putains
Like a thousand souls of young lost girls
Disappearing like stardust into the clouds
On this their final journey
Never to be seen again
Saint John, Saint John, Saint John, Saint John
Saint John
Your congregation is gone
But your testament lives on
Saint John
Saint John, Saint John, Saint John
