Strike Up the Band

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Driving in the back seat around the town Listen to the lights, I want to see the sound Of music playing in my head I never heard a word you said [Chorus: Mark Hollis, Paul Webb, and both] Oh, oh-uh-oh, oh-uh-oh The beats are kicking in Oh, oh-uh-oh, oh-uh-oh Your ears don't hear a thing Strike up the band [Verse 2] Looking for reaction without the crowd Looking in the doors I get the run around You never heard a word I said I've seen this music in my head [Chorus: Mark Hollis, Paul Webb, and both] Oh, oh-uh-oh, oh-uh-oh The beats are kicking in Oh, oh-uh-oh, oh-uh-oh Your ears don't hear a thing Strike up the band [Bridge] You never heard a word I said I've seen this music in my head [Chorus: Mark Hollis, Paul Webb, and both] Oh, oh-uh-oh, oh-uh-oh The beats are kicking in Oh, oh-uh-oh, oh-uh-oh Your ears don't hear a thing Strike up the band Strike up the band Strike up the band
