About the Song: Featured on the 1982 masterpiece album The Getaway, "Brother John" is one of Chris de Burgh's most compelling narrative tracks. Unlike his ballads, this song delves into rock opera territory, exploring themes of faith, desire, and the human cost of holiness. Lyrics: "Well Brother John went down to the garden, On a long hot summer's day. To watch that girl he would hide in the shadows, As she worked the time away, With her long black hair and her eyes of fire, And a body to drive men crazy, It was on that day there would be a change, In the world of Brother John; She felt his eyes and she walked up beside him, And she took him by the hand, She said, "Brother John, it's so hard to be holy, Would you like to be a man? I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall, If you're there we will find out together, " And the Devil said, "There's a place in hell, For the soul of Brother John;" Hallelujah! Temptation is here, It's not a dream anymore, Hallelujah! It's finally here, I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting Well Brother John lay tossing and turning, In his bed in the heat of the night, He heard his name and he went to the window, Where she was in the clear moonlight, Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny, He was lost to her body forever, And the Devil laughed and the angels cried, For the soul of Brother John; Hallelujah! Temptation is here, It's not a dream anymore, Hallelujah! It's finally here, I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting Hallelujah! Temptation is here, It's not a dream anymore, Hallelujah! It's finally here, I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting Temptation is here for Brother John, Temptation is here for Brother John" Timeline: 0:00 Intro & Title Card 0:33 Verse 1: The Garden & The Girl 1:18 The Proposal ("Would you like to be a man?") 1:44 Chorus: Hallelujah, Temptation is Here 2:07 Verse 2: The Dream & The Sin 2:56 Instrumental Break & Guitar Solo 3:20 Final Chorus: The Climax 4:46 Applause & Outro Video Credits: Visual Edit & DVD Transfer by Steve Bennett.
