Simple Minds - Wall Of Love Lyrics
Ooh great wall of love, build me a great wall of loveWhen the blind man sings about the peaceful thingsYou shout that its not good enoughAh we wait till daylight hoursWaiting for a sign from youGolden temples concrete towersBuilding mansions on the hillside next to youIn the city souls awaken bodies shakingOh pull me up let me see the viewAnd to the hungry in the gutterWeve deprived them bread and butterAlways not enoughNo not enoughGreat wall of love, build me a great wall of loveWhen the blind man sings about the peaceful thingsYou shout that its still not enough.Ah well its not the sound of ghosts I hearIts the devil with his chainsawAnd Ill be running through the ghettosThrough the townships of sowetoAlways not enoughNo not enoughBrothers missing, babies kissingAnd the thing that got to youBurning never turning next to youOoh great wall of loveBuild me a great wall of loveWhen the blind man sings about the peaceful thingsYou shout that its still not enoughSo listen to me darlingTheyve got worries theyve got troubles on their mindAnd when you hear them reaching outTheyre reaching out for something they cant findOh I believe one great day the rain will comeAnd wash this mess awayOh I believe one great day the rain will comeTheyve got silver and diamondsTheyve got paradise around themTheyve got blue skies so clearTheyve got their prisoner in a wagonWhile the children chase the dragonAnd the free bird files so clearIt files awayFly fly fly awayFly awayOh you fly awayAnd may your sweet lips sing to meLet the bells ring wherever freedom beOne babe is born and another one diesTheres people making love tonightPeople making love tonightAh people making love tonightPeople making lovePeople making love tonightPeople making loveI can hear them reaching outI can hear them reaching outI can hear them reaching outI can hear them reaching outWords and music : simple minds reproduced without permission
