  • WRING OUT THE GROUND (LOOSELY NOW)
    Words and Music
    by Mont Campbell

    Wring out
    Wring it out
    Wring, wring it out
    Wring it further out
    Ground
    Wring out the ground loosely now

    Wring out
    Wring it out
    Wring, wring it out
    Wring it gently out

    Everything I saw was a terrible bore
    Because I'd seen it all before
    And the one thing it told me was
    That what I had to do
    Was to fight my way through
    And try to think of something new
    And I couldn't help feeling it was true
    It was true

    Wring out
    Wring it out
    Wring, wring it out
    Wring it gently out

    Last out
    Last it out
    Last, last it out
    Last one out's a fool
    Least, last out the least, listlessly

    Last out
    Last it out
    Last, last it out
    Last one out's a shame

    Maybe I was wrong
    But it won't take me long
    Because the power is too strong
    To forsake me and leave me standing
    Savouring what might hold the knowledge of right
    For men to answer to the sight
    Of the universe and the realm of light
    Of light
    Realm of light
    Realm of light
    Realm of light
