How to Explain (Live from Melbourne, December 2021) [Original Line-up Final Tour]

When a room becomes an altar
 And what beast that must exist
 It flies with music from our lips
 And steals a kiss and blows it out, into the mist
 Where castles stand on cliffs
 And cobbled streets they wind and drift
 And moods are made and set but shift
 This place where skies are low and birds are big
 We went to sleep in day
 And woke again the same day
 We have learned to cheat the time
 And find the hours that the clocks cannot define
 Now as I looked up from that stage
 I felt the thing that had been made
 And how it raged, and how it raged
 How to explain?
 Something makes me howl
 And shiver to the core
 Oh outside if it was raining
 Then inside there'd be a storm
 We've got a pair of hands for climbing
 And a pair of knees to spring
 And a pair of balls for strength
 And a pair of lungs to sing
 And these limp old chords
 That say: music is the language of us all
 To write these songs is to be written
 Ah the chorus always knows what is in store
 And what is more the thing that sings us
 Is the thing that makes us roar
 I felt that beast kiss on my neck
 We clapped our hands and heard them spread
 There was a trumpet and a call
 A pack of Spaniards screamed for more
 Music is the language of us all
 Music is the language of us all
 Music is the language of us all
 Music is the language of us all
 ♪
 I find it hard to speak emotional
 Cause these things are the things that can't be said
 And when it struck
 It strikes the memory from our heads
 Once I wrote two plays
 To be immortal for a night
 And despite the unknown hours
 Something happens when the light turns out the lights
 Then we fade and yawn
 To music that's the language of us all
