Simple Minds - Oh Jungleland Lyrics
Somebodys screaming outSomebodys knocking outSomebodys calling out, come hear it againStreet bells are ringing outYoung girls are singing outBoys are building up to be menYouve got the loveThen here comes the blood lastThe father, the mother, the sister, the chainSweet inspirationsOr a cold hearted nations babyThe young man, the brothers, the killers explainOh junglelandThey call you home sweet homeYou make me feel so sad, to leave here all aloneBut there is a kid called hopeAnd hes holding out his handHe sees the northern lightsAbove this highrise landOh junglelandOh junglelandOh junglelandIn the city, get out the city pretty quickIve got a prayer, I wanna sing it to youIt says, may little children forget the wild thingsBut no one listens cause nobody caresWhen youve got the love drugsAnd youve got the long nightsYou got the heartbeat that spirals to heavenHere comes summer, here comes violenceOver your shoulder the soul boy explainsOh junglelandThey call you home sweet homeYou make me feel so sad, to leave here all aloneBut there is a kid called hopeAnd hes holding out his handHe sees the northern lightsAbove the highrise landBut blood is thicker than waterBut blood is sweeter than holy landsUnto the devil a daughterWhen my love sings its an angel song she sings itDont look back, never look backDont look back, never look backOh junglelandWords and music : simple minds (c) emi music (publ) ltd reproduced without permission
