Tekst piosenki:
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
They boarded up the synagogues, Uzis on a street corner
You can't take a photograph of Uzis on a street corner
The DJ resigned today they wouldn't let him have his say
Surface scratched where the needles play, Uzis on a street corner
Where do we go from here
Terror in Rue de St. Denis, murder on the periphery
Someone else in someone else's pocket
Christ knows I don't know how to stop it
Poppies at the cenotaph, the cynics can't afford to laugh
I heard in on the telegraph there's Uzis on a street corner
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
The more I see, the more I hear, the more I find fewer answers
I close my mind, I shout it out but you know it's getting harder
To calm down, to reason out, to come to terms with what it's all about
I'm uptight, can't sleep at night, I can't pretend everything's all right
My ideals, my sanity, they seem to be deserting me
But to stand up and fight I know we have six million reasons
They're burning down the synagogues, Uzis on a street corner
The heralds of the holocaust, Uzis on a street corner
The silence never louder than now, how quickly we forgot our vows
This resurrection we can't allow, Uzis on a street corner
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
We buy fresh bagels from the corner store
Where swastikas are spat from aerosols
I sit in the bar sipping iced White Russian
Trying to score but nobody's pushing
And everyone looks at everyone's faces
Searching for signs and praying for traces of a conscience in residence
Are we sitting on a barbed wire fence
Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home
We place our faith in human rights
In the paper wars that tie the red tape tight
I know that I would rather be out of this conspiracy
In the gulags and internment camps frozen faces in nameless ranks
I know that they would rather be standing here besides me
Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home
You can shut your eyes, you can hide it away it's gonna come back another day
Racing the clouds home, are we racing the clouds home
Racing the clouds home

Nie było "rezurekcji kościuszkowskiej", była insurekcja.
"We place our faith in human rights
In the paper wars that tie the red tape tight"
Wierzymy w prawa człowieka tocząc bitwy na gazety,
to (tylko pomaga) zacisnąć nam pętlę przez biurokratów.
nawiązanie do "paper wars" w 18 wieku, "Bitwy książek" J.Swifta oraz "red tape" czyli ogólnie biurokracji
"I know that they would rather be standing here besides me
Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home"
= wiem, że oni (ci uwięzieni) woleliby stanąć obok mnie,
aby przegnać te chmury tam skąd one (chmury) pochodzą
iced White Russian powinien mieć także śmietankę albo mleko
surface scratched where the needles play (mimo że to ewidentne nawiązanie do tego czym zajmuje się DJ),
to raczej coś w rodzaju "od rzemyczka do koniczka"

"surface scratches where the needles play" to po prostu polskie "gdzie drwa rąbią tam wióry lecą".
"iced White Russian" - to nie żaden "zmrożony White Russian" tylko nasza ukochana polska "czysta z lodem".
"this resurrection we can't allow" to nie "wskrzeszenie" (skąd taki pomysł???) tylko "powstanie, do którego nie można dopuścić" (panie tłumaczu: proszę skojarzyć choćby z rezurekcją kościuszkowską).
Możnaby tak jeszcze trochę... ;-) Do tego wszystkiego w 100% zgadzam się z uwagą, że piosenki Fisha powinien śpiewać Fish, a Marillion już bez niego to nie jest Marillion.
A może najnormalniej w świecie mam dzisiaj zły humor i marudzę?
