40 Years of Granta magazine, with Ian Jack & Sigrid Rausing

Ian Jack performs "Kindness"  Kindness  In the valley with the rolling hills Everything was fine Till the bad blood was spilled  And nobody took the time for Kindness, kindness Mercy there was so much blindness defined And when the train left the station There was no love left behind      In the heart of the angry man There’s a great divide  There is only the right and wrong And everybody chooses sides without Kindness, kindness  There’s nothing much left to bind us Thru these times So the train leaves the station And there’s no love left behind.      And without kindness there’s no mercy  And without reason there’s no rhyme And I don’t know where this train will roll If there’s no love left behind      There’s a rabbit in a hollow log Where the eagle flys And it’s raining cats and dogs And he’s hiding out for his life I pray for  Kindness, kindness And the eagles blindness this time Before the train leaves the station And there’s no love left behind
