Beautiful South, The ~ The Table


(heaton/rotheray) This table has four sturdy legs And a heart of very near wild oak When others would have screamed out loud my friend This one never even spoke I've been sat upon, i've been spat upon I've been treated like a bed Been carried like a stretcher, When someone thinks they're dead I've been dined upon, i've been wined upon I've been taken for a fool Taken for a desk, When they should have been at school This table's been pushed against the door When tempers, well tempers flare at night Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend When someone thinks that they are right I've been sat upon, i've been spat upon I've been treated like a bed Been carried like a stretcher, When someone thinks they're dead I've been dined upon, i've been wined upon I've been taken for a fool Taken for a desk, When they should have been at school Tables only turn when tables learn Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave Or i'll turn into the coffin in your grave I've been sat upon, i've been spat upon I've been treated like a bed Been carried like a stretcher, When someone thinks they're dead I've been dined upon, i've been wined upon I've been taken for a fool Taken for a desk, When they should have been at school Tables only turn when tables learn Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave Or i'll turn into the coffin in your grave more free lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)
This table has four sturdy legs
And a heart of very near wild oak
When others would have screamed out loud my friend
This one never even spoke

I've been sat upon, i've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
When someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, i've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
When they should have been at school

This table's been pushed against the door
When tempers, well tempers flare at night
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend
When someone thinks that they are right

I've been sat upon, i've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
When someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, i've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
When they should have been at school

Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or i'll turn into the coffin in your grave

I've been sat upon, i've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
When someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, i've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
When they should have been at school

Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or i'll turn into the coffin in your grave

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
