Knowledge Of Beauty Lyrics by Dexys

Don’t Stand Me Down

1985

[Intro (Instrumental)]
[Verse 1]
I've often
Thought about
The men where I came from
And times ago
Their sons
These days are found
In U. S. and Britannia care
And as
I think about
In her eyes I look
And see the story there (What?)
You know
Knowledge of beauty
In itself rare
[Chorus]
Mmmh
Mmmh
Bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum
[Verse 2]
Go west
Go west young man
West of hollow words
And all that lies there
Go west
I'll sing an air
For all the previous
Wild black curly hair
For what use is anything
Oh, if I don't have
The wisdom and warmth
Of my past generations
If I need strength
To take bad on
I just look back to
Where I camе from
[Chorus]
(Bum-bum-bum...)
I look back where I came from
(Bum-bum-bum...)
I look back whеre I came from
To-doo-doo-dooh, To-doo-dooh
To-doo-doo-dooh, To-doo-dooh
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
(Bum-bum-bum...)
I look back where I came from
(Bum-bum-bum...)
[Verse 3]
I'm sorry for the [?]
(To-doo-doo-dooh...)
I've had respect, money and love
I've denied my beautiful heritage
Gone away from my roots
And come back home again
I gave away my individuality
And listened to the now generation
When really I'm not one of those
But love has brought me closer to the truth
And right now I couldn't be any closer
To love your father is a fulfilling thing
[Chorus]
(To-doo-doo-dooh...)
Oh, yes I just
I look back where I came from
Oh, yes I got the
I look back where I came from
Yes, I do, Yes I
I look back where I came from
Oh, yes, look right back, look right back
Where I came from
Oh, yes, look right back, look right back
Where I came from
Oh, my national pride is a personal pride
Where I came from
[Outro (Piano)]
