Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart

Bring the little fishes
Bring the sharks
Bring 'em from the brightness
Bring 'em from the dark

Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart

Bring 'em from the caverns
Bring 'em from the heights
Bring 'em from the shadows
Stand 'em in the light

Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart

Bring 'em out of purdah
Bring 'em out of store
Bring 'em out of hiding
Lay them at my door

Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart

Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all

Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart

Bring the unforgiven
Bring the unredeemed
Bring the lost and nameless
Let 'em all be seen

Bring 'em out of exile
Bring 'em out of sleep
Bring 'em to the ?
Lay them at my feet

Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart

Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in

Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart, heart

Mock, you people who don't get this message.  Yes, it's repetitious, but sometimes, people need repetition to make them understand/realize the import of what's being said.  I love this song, and I don't even care about the "Bring 'em all in" chorus. This is fervent passion and caring.  I'd happily tuck under his wing, based on this song.  It gets a 10.

I can’t recall ever being disappointed by a Cynaera post.  She is the most beloved RP poster by far.  Eloquent, smart and passionate and possessing exquisite taste.  Miss you.

Mr. Scott is a man on a mission: to bring us all in to dig the living truth of his big-hearted, all-inclusive vision...

Does he really want ALL OF THEM! I mean, that's a lot. Where are they going to go when they have to go to the bathroom? Whose going to feed them?  I'm just saying, that's a helluva lot.

At first I thought this was Melissa Etheridge; which would have been poignant. The sheer power of his conviction to offer shelter to the misfits made me a bit teary this morning. Maybe I was just in need of hearing it. Sometimes I feel like the world could use a little bit more of this.

Just finished reading Mike Scott's memoir "Adventures of a Waterboy" not very long ago.  Interesting path he took with his career as a musician and a great read for anyone who is a fan of his work.

When I was a christian, I loved this song, because I believed strongly in the words of the Bible. Now, this is still a beautiful song, but doesn't pull my heartstrings anymore like it did. Mike Scott's song is maybe derived from a song of A. Thomas called Bring Them In.

Funny, I was a Christian until I read the Bible.   That book doesn't say what people think it says.    It seems more like a work written by Rome, and packed with truly dark but hilarious jokes.

Mike Scott is a shamanistic songwriter, a true Muse follows him around. And he loves Japan!

check out this version

this song reminds me of Rumi's poem The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Precisely why I came here to make a comment. Great minds think alike. I may have been involved in the aforementioned Paul Brady tune, too. Guess I'm a "Mondegreen" promoter. Worth noting that my father is famous for turning the "tea" line in "Doe, A Deer" into "A drink with Jan and Fred" so I guess it's genetic. In any case, it's certainly a pretty good tune, mawl/maul/mall and all.

Maybe he's a corporate schill in a small town telling us to "bring a mall in"?

Wow that was a fantastic segue. I wasn't paying attention and had no idea where the one started and ended.
Agreed! Superb segue!

I don't see the resemblance to Cohen at all. The spare instrumentation in this song is nothing like any Cohen song I can think of, and the simple, repetitive lyrics are nothing at all like the subtle, rich, lyrics of Cohen.

Mike Scott was a seriously underrated pitcher in the NES classic "RBI Baseball." I'm pretty sure that that Mike Scott would also write better songs than this.
