Hiding in the the catacombs Lying low in the labyrinths Beneath the shattered city streets The sleepers lie in wait Taking improbable chances When opportunities arise Pitching wits against selected hits Never toeing olliciallines
Men, women and children From every walk of life Using any means available with which to fight Proudly preserving the integrity of their nation Vichy France could never be our ultimate identity Never
Watch out Take cover Someone's been talking They're on their way They're armed to the teeth Machine guns on motor bikes A Panzer division Crawling with soldiers in broad daylight No subtlety here Our daily injection of fear
I want you to search Every nook and cranny high and low To flush out these rebels and deal with them accordingly Quick return once again to the secret passages Candlelight in hand, Safe and Sound, Gone to Ground Keep the noise down.... Sssh! Outmanoeuvred once again Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! hee! hee! hee! hee! hee! We will yet be free! Foiled again, foiled again You've been recalled again
Gabardines and greatcoats Mingle in the shadows Animated figures, of dubious origins Loiter in the corners Looking for the fallers Stench of cigarettes hangs heavy in the air Stella slips slowly through nervous throats Who is who? Nobody knows Who is who? Nobody knows
Informers, incognito Heroes and martyrs to be Shuffle, avoiding the enemy Everybody is under cover Everyone is wary of each other Who is who? Nobody knows Who is who?
Another pale moon rises Another blood red sun sets Another hard day gone Another nervous night to come Survival guaranteed At least until tomorrow Who knows what a new dawn will bring A New Era?
We had it good in the eighties Everything coming up roses We were drowning in success Only dealing with the best Really couldn't care about the rest They meant nothing to us
MONEY POWER GREED
Porsche 911, penthouse over the Thames We had everything we desired But the bubble had to burst Unless we gave out first We never thought it was an option
SELF-DECEIT SELF-CORRUPT
We live and learn Even the brightest burn We live and learn Each of us has our turn We rage and scorn Don't even know we are born We live and learn Even the brightest burn
Sure enough the big bang came We were finally out of the game Dizzy heights that we had scaled Proved too much - we'd finally failed Nothing left but rubble and dust
But now it all seems like A perfect blessing in disguise A learning experience To which we are now wise
SELF-REALISATION REGAINING SELF-ESTEEM
We live and learn Even the brightest burn We live and learn Each of us has our turn We rage and scorn Don't even know we are born We live and learn Even the brightest burn
But now I've got all in a better perspective Now I'm back, jiving in the real world I've got the love of a family and friends Self-respect and happiness Nothing more, nothing less It's all that matters to me
With the first trick of dawn Tranquility drowns amid the morning song As the sun cracks the sky Shadows live another hour Until they're killed of by the clouds Waiting with invisible patience For our star to shine once again
Hillsides changing shade and shape Silhouettes slow dance across The fields, the valleys, the meadows of the chase A predator hovers in the air A predator sleeps in the long grass Whilst all the innocents are unaware This is the chase This is the chase
A kestrel hovers over a babbling brook And the hounds they hound And the fox takes a look He's running for cover in the trees And still the fleas they cling They're biting for life, chasing for life, chasing for life Chasing desires, chasing ideals Chasing the way that we feel Chasing the grass that is oh so green on the other side Chasing our dreams, in what we believe This the chase, this the chase The chase, the chase, the chase The chase, the chase, the chase This the chase
