Simple Minds - Biko Lyrics
September 77Port elizabeth weather fineIt was business as usualIn police room 619Oh biko, biko, because bikoOh biko, biko, because bikoHiromija, hiromijaThe man is dead, the man is deadWhen I try to sleep at nightI can only dream in redThe outside world is black and whiteWith only one colour deadOh biko, biko, because bikoOh biko, biko, because bikoHiromija, hiromijaThe man is dead, the man is deadYou can blow out a candleBut you can never blow out a fireOnce the flames begin to catchThe wind will blow it higherOh biko, biko, because bikoOh biko, biko, because bikoHiromija, hiromijaThe man is dead, the man is deadAnd the eyes of the world are watching you nowTheyre watching you now, watching you nowWatching you now, watching you nowTheyre watching you nowYou gotta waken up, you gotta face upI think you gotta open upThe eyes of the world are watching you nowYou gotta waken up, you gotta face upYou know you can never turn awayNever turn awayWords and music : peter gabriel reproduced without permission
