Tin Drum
Album - 28 novembre 1981 - Debaser id 28102

I hear a voice I hear a sound
But nothing plays on my mind
I take the car I travel round
But nothing stays on my mind

What do you do when things go wrong ?
I'm winning
In the heart of the bushland
What do you do when things go wrong ?
I'm winning
In the heart of the bushland

But now I'm scared
Now I'm lost in love
All these things were never done
Your burning bridge my talking drum
Now we're too late for heaven

When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well I ought to leave but
The rain it never stops
And I have no particular place to go

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder then before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind

Well I'm feeling nervous
And I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes but leads nowhere

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder then before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind

Instrumental

I'm walking young and strong
But just a little too thin
I may be happy but I haven't clue to this life in my mind

Stay with me
We could learn to fight
like every good boy should
Cling to me
We are blacked out in visions of China
Tonight

I'm building heroes again
I never thought of before
I remember the fashion but don't have clue to your life in my mind

Stay with me
We could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me
We are blacked out in visions of China
Tonight

We walk backwards say nothing
My visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China

We walk backwards say nothing
Visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
We walk backwards say nothing
Our visions of China

We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China

We're pushing through these farming towns
We worked hard ploughing over ground
Red army calls you the call of the crowd
Red army needs you they call you now

Cantonese boy
bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home

We're singing marching through the hills
We're changing the lives we've led for years
Red army calls you the call of the crowd
Red army needs you they call you now

Cantonese boy
bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home

Red army calls you
Red army needs you

Gentlemen you heard us call
raised your glass and called for more
Only young men broke the wall
