Augustine of Hippo ( /ɒˈɡʌstɨn/ or /ˈɔːɡəstɪn/;Latin: Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis; November 13, 354 – August 28, 430), also known as Augustine, St. Augustine, St. Austin,St. Augoustinos, Blessed Augustine, or St. Augustine the Blessed, was Bishop of Hippo Regius (present-day Annaba, Algeria). He was a Latin philosopher and theologian from Roman Africa. His writings were very influential in the development of Western Christianity.
According to his contemporary, Jerome, Augustine "established anew the ancient Faith." In his early years he was heavily influenced by Manichaeism and afterward by the Neo-Platonism of Plotinus. After his conversion to Christianity and baptism in AD 387, Augustine developed his own approach to philosophy and theology, accommodating a variety of methods and different perspectives. He believed that the grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom, and he framed the concepts of original sin and just war.
When the Western Roman Empire was starting to disintegrate, Augustine developed the concept of the Catholic Church as a spiritual City of God (in a book of the same name), distinct from the material Earthly City. His thoughts profoundly influenced the medieval worldview. Augustine's City of God was closely identified with the Church, the community that worshipped God.

As the bell tower blocks the summer light
All the seeds in our garden fight
To break and blossom, all to be adored
And look, your skirt is torn
And there's blood on our sheets
As comes the long arm of the law
Fist tight, banging on the door
And knocking me down on its way in
As I pass out into a dream
Of whooping cranes and wooden beams
Great white wings beating
In an attic, in a house, in the dead of night
Singing
Oh, my Augustine, Augustine
Oh, is this forever, ever?
Oh, oh
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
What does this mean for us?
Does it mean that I can never change my ways?
And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay
Still you will and love me
Like a mother or a maid bringing you down, down
Down on your brazen knees
Watering the worms and the weeds
Thinking, why does love leave me so damn cold?
Now I'm getting old
And is this what it should be?
Well, is it?
Oh, my Augustine, Augustine.
Oh, is this forever, ever?
Oh, oh
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
Or do we kill this one tonight?
And now come the tears, heavy and hot
As it comes clear, this is all we got
As I hold you to my bed
Like a cancer, or a curse
Now be my loving nurse
What a formidable time warp
I am 1926 all over again
Sprawled out along the dandelion fields
And red coppery tracks to the wrecking yard
You say these knees grow weak
I am a harbour begging boats beneath you
A trembling bridge
You say these knees grow weak
For a change you sail the sea
What if it really was the coast with the most?
Will these cigarette ashes leave a trail to a side-walk's end?
To a lock of grey hair?
Will it lead me there?
You are my 1952
My Harley or Cadillac days
You ride with the wind
You are a water pump in the back well
You rust to my hands
Days when I thought I gave too much
Now pounce on a penny for what it's worth
Augustine, florentine
Order it from the menu when the bell man takes your coat
What a fine coat it is
You go at the break of dawn
And when you go you break everyone's little splendid heart
The queen begs to still be appreciated while the empire stabs her in the back everybody just relax blood drips off her dress onto the ballroom floor where people dance I spill out upon the floor as the walls are closing in Augustine we're at our necks again Augustine out in the court yard the dead roses seem to bleed and whisper
Oh my god
What have I done
Chasing some mirage in my Mojave sun
Don't say every chance is lost,
Please don't say anything at all
In sand and thorns
I'm walking forth
Bare and blinking as the day that I was born
Bells in spires of China white
Ring for an Augustine tonight
Oh now, I'm breaking down
Oh let me be
Let me be your Augustine
Lead me now
I understand
Faith is both the prison and the open hand
Bells on low on high
Will you ring for Augustine tonight
Oh now I'm breaking down,
Every illusion in between
All the lies that I have seen
Fell asleep with a cigarette
To the flicker of a TV set
No one saw you wave your white flag
No one saw your family photo album
Never saw your family photo album
Fought some battles and we lost the war
And there's ashtrays all on the floor
"The city ain't beat me yet" he said
To the flicker of a TV set
To the blue light of a TV set
I'm takin' ya home
Hang up the phone
We'll listen to radio
Keep your head up kid
I know you can swim
But ya gotta move your legs
I'm takin' ya home
Hang up the phone
We'll listen to radio
Keep your head up kid
I know you can swim
But ya gotta move your legs
The leaves are fallin' off the trees
There's children playin' in the street
Have you lost your will to see straight?
Well to hell with New York City then,
New York City can go to hell
I'm takin' ya home
Hang up the phone
We'll listen to radio
Keep your head up kid
I know you can swim
But ya gotta move your legs
I'm takin' ya home
Hang up the phone

I see you and me, getting high.
I hear you talk sweetly.
My heart is fluttering, yeah.
I see you and me, going all night.
I pick you flowers as we stroll through the park
Your head was tired so you leaned on my arm.
I captivated you with all of my charm
I made you say "Oh-oh-oh-oh".
You picked me flowers as we strolled through the park.
My head was tired so I leaned on your arm.

Like the army you make me be all I can be

Yet your face is all I see.
I keep my chin to the sky,
Where you and I get high
So click your heels three times,
And to this world we say goodbye
Yeah, you and me together
No rain, just sunny weather
With so much bliss,
This I can't resist.(x3)

We watched the ships come in
From across the bay
I watched your lips move in
Wondering what to say
That was good enough
That was strong enough
That was good enough for you
Love is an ocean
Caught in a storm
Breaking down walls
And taking its form
The farthest from safety
But the closest I've come
As we come undone
In Augustine
We dangled our feet
Over water from the wall
I took your hand
Ready for the fall
I'd fall fast enough
I'd fall hard enough
I'd fall fast enough for you
Don't say a word
I hope that you know
There's truth in the way that we feel
The current is strong
I'll never let go of you
We'd fall fast enough
We'd fall hard enough
We'd fall sure enough
