For America

Deviate to contemplate this audio visual opiate
One hundred years from now
Title fights and human rights - we're satellites - you're parasites
Hey yah ya!

Now I've got to tell you that I've been down
Down so low that I bit the ground
Let's hear it from the heart of America

Ya da dee yeh - yeh ee oh
In America urelei USA
For America

Where's the peace and understanding?
Go drum go dance sound on sound
All this peace and understanding
Go drum go dance round and round
In America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah

A pocket full of posies and cheap scented roses
Every house should have it's hat on
So in and out and round and round, up and down and lost and found
Hey ah ha!

Magazines and gasoline and made-in-Taiwan western scenes
Will you hear us in the heart of America?
Ya da dee yeh - yeh ee oh
In America urelei USA

For America
Na na ne na ne na na
All this peace and understanding

Heart of the Sun

Heart of the sun
Circular one
You're never going to die
Acting out scenes
Telling of dreams

A party! a party!

Pushing for space
Paint on the face

A party

Ah! contrasting ceremonies
The circle and the square

Child and the gun
Heaven and hell
You're never gonna die

The sun and the shade
Marquees and jade

A wedding! a wedding!

Feast and the chance
Solitary chance

A wedding... ding-dong-ding-day

Six start a journey full of grace
To circumnavigate the human race
And who's to say that we have found our places?
You don't look the same as me
Are you with him and who is she?
Un deux drei vier five six chi ba

Heart of the sun
Circular one
You're never gonna die

Child and the gun
Heaven and hell

Billy's Line

Billy came down from northern scotland only yesterday 
over land and under low cloud 
year long winter grey 
born in nineteen-seventy-seven 
will die in ninety-five 
a modern day statistic in collateral damage 
Billy prays not to survive 
a year and a day since he went away 
now everybody look at me! 
without a sound 
he kissed the ground
Billy's line 

hey! you! 
god on my side watching you 

and ever since a friend had told him 
"Billy you're looking fine" 
he'd sensed that a place in the human race 
was looking more and more like a right divine 
and not a million miles from welwyn graden city 
his favourite melody 
"radio world war three" 
hey! you! 
god on my side watching you
Billy walked down the full length of the hallway 
and opened up the double doors 
seven hundred miles to be united 
Billy lie down 
and join your family line

Living in Domes

O hey ho living in domes 
open air homes 
effortless tone 
eagle has flown 
cover's been blown 
livng in domes 
and what you can see is not what we could become 

Hosanna! 

stone by stone build a new home 
on the land that no man can share 
zone by zone raising the tone 
in a place where the people stare 
wear and tear mama don't care 
held your own to the touching stone 
hey ho hey ho living in domes 
working to the rhythm of an intellect that's driven by greed 
under domes it's a d?ifferent kind 
concentrate to listen for the rondo that we christen king speed 
swaying, double trouble left behind 
smoke of human sacrifices 
broken promise money vices 
no one moves and no one cares 
and no one says they're living in squares 
and what you can see is not what we could become

hosanna! 

lost and found inherited ground 
in a place where the statesmen are 
round and round circular sound 
we're the beat spectacular 
colour bar afrikan star 
and your feet don't touch the ground 
hey ya hay ya you will go far

Chenko

We stand alone
With your metal
And our stones
We're hybrid
Divided

Hide the wind and earth
And fire forever

And now we hone
Our fingers to the bone
We're hybrid
One-sided

What can we do...
Live our lives like you?
We're hybrid
Misguided

Hide the wind and earth
And fire forever

Chorus:
It's over
Chenko tenka io
Chenko tenka io
Chenko tenka io
Now, it's over
Chenko tenka io
Chenko tenka io

This compromise
This village I despise
We're hybrid
Collided

Hide the wind and earth
And fire forever

(Chorus)
We stand alone
With your metal
And our stones
We're hybrid

Lean on Me

Are we happy are we scared?
Are we shouting never heard?
Are we running, running brave?
Are we fighting, making waves?

The first man he gets up and he says
"Well, can i have a say?"

Singing ...
Men on fire pray for rain
Who are madmen, who is sane?

So ten men they get up and they say
"Well, can we have a say?"

Have we lost the spoken word?

From the very very young to the very very old
Everybody now say aye
From the centre of the earth to the corners of the globe
Everyone of you say aye
Nobody better let me down
Mother earth on the other side

Sing on...
Are we happy, are we scared?
Are we shouting, never heard?

The first man he gets up and he says
"Well, can i have a say?"
Cut of drama, power of sound
Are we progress, don't lose ground?

Ten men they get up and they say
"Well, can we have a say?"

Are we fighting, making waves?

From the very very young to the very very old
Everybody now say aye
From the centre of the earth to the corners of the globe
Everyone of you say aye
Nobody better let me down
We will see on the other side, lean on me

Sing on: ah-li-ayo!

Leaders In Seventh Heaven

Gather round 
Did you know we live on dangerous ground? 
Singing songs without a sound 
a dollar a pound 
five years late 
come along now keep rolling
and she always had a head for dates 
come along now keep well 
hanging too low to be picked 
the leader's in seventh heaven 
laughter and tears 
and in between 
all the things we might have been 
oh let me, oh get me through 

and later on 
when the dirty deed is done 
oh let me, oh get me through 

i in way 
when there's no more rope 
and the titles are there 
you can find a new leader 
most any-old-where 

eight left oars 
as we row in aid of worthy cause 
so call it in and shout it out 
never a doubt 
flames will roar 
now i hate to cut through strands of hope 
and the sparks will glow from shore to shore 
we've a ten foot hole and a five foot rope 
you'd better pay for something more 
the leader's in seventh heaven 
rolling up hills

and in between 
all the things we might have been 
oh let me, oh get me through 

and later on 
when the dirty deed is done 
oh let me, oh get me through 

i in way 
when there's no more rope 
and the titles are there 
you can find a new leader 
most any-old-where 

Walk Walk

in and out of 
hallelujah! 
this heat is turning my skin to leather 
no ground given 
hallelujah! 
both young and old we will run together 
walk walk 
break into a run
walk walk 
the race has just begun
we sing and dance and we kiss each other 
hallelujah! 
project my power into one direction 
i kick, you kick 

hallelujah! 
my inner rhythm will reach perfection 
walk walk 
break into a run
walk walk 
the race has just begun 
we sing and dance and we kiss each other 
hallelujah!
your spirit is broken and pride hides the pain 
honour your labour 
again move mountains 
hallelujah!
