The Healing Game.
Van Morrison is known for having the best backup singers and the best bands in music. This version of The Healing Game is graced by the brilliant saxophonist Candy Dulfer, and the rest of Morrison's band and singers.
Morrison mumbles with an Irish accent. It's not easy to understand the lyrics. Here they are in print form. You're welcome to mumble along.
Here I am again
Back on the corner again
Back where I belong
Where I've always been
Everything the same
It don't ever change
I'm back on the corner again
In the healing game
Down those ancient streets
Down those ancient roads
Where nobody knows
Where nobody goes
I'm back on the corner again
Where I've always been
Never been away
From the healing game
Where the choirboys sing
Where I've always been
Sing the song with soul
Baby, don't you know?
We can let it roll
On the saxophone
Back street Jelly Roll
In the healing game
Where the homeboys sing
Sing the songs of praise
'Bout their golden days
In the healing game
Sing it out loud
Sing it in your name
Sing it like you're proud
Sing the healing game
Sing it out loud
Sing it in your name
Sing it like you're proud
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing it in your name
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing it in your name
Sing me the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing it in your name
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing it in your name
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing it in your name
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing it in your name
Sing the healing game

Pee Wee Ellis wrote most of the horn charts for Van Morrison.
His son, Junior Ellis, is a bass player who lives in Woodstock. I've played with him.
You might have conserved some vertical space with an "etc."
good morning!
Jon Stewart(D) mocked us.
Another one of my favorites.
Thanks.
We all of us need a little healing.
@Haz: I'm a hard sell but you're slowly winning me over.
It helps to post the lyrics. I alway thought he was spurring his bleach on purpose.
Great song.
