Something’s Going On Lyrics by Steve Drewett and the Indestructible Beat

Disgraceland

1994

A satellite stands motionless at a point above the Earth
Where it's scything through the truth, and under the cover of a thousand stupid game shows, events are on the move
There’s a build-up of washing up lying in the sink, there's a build-up of ignorance when people just don't think, there’s a one-sided bedtime story on the evening news tonight
Chorus:
And the ebb and flow of history is lapping 'round their rooms as the blinds come rattling down
And they won't notice, that something is going on 'round here, [They won't know]
Oh no they won't notice, they won't notice that something is
Going on 'round here
Oh no, they won’t notice, that something is
Going on ’round here [They won't know]
Oh no, they won’t notice, they won't notice that something is going on 'round here, yeah, it's going on ’round here
Well, I open the daily tabloid and it spits into my face
Yeah, they treat you with contempt
It's the modern-day equivalent, of a public flogging
And It's all at our expense
It's overcast in London, a depression over France, there's a storm over Gibraltar, as things start hotting up, the climate's slowly changing but the outlook looks really bad
Chorus:
Well, the ebb and flow of history is lapping 'round their rooms as the blinds come rattling down
And they won't notice, that something is going on 'round here
[They won't know]
Oh no, they won't notice, they won't notice that, something is going on 'round here
Oh no, they won't notice, that something is going on, going on 'round here
No, they won't notice, they won't notice that something is going on 'round here, yeah, it's going on 'round here
The radio chatters childishly to a nation on Its back
As it tries to pay the rent
It's aural wallpaper covering up the cracks
Of any unified dissent. Everyone has an opinion, everybody thinks they're right
But few know the realities behind this bitter fight
How many nights in shining Armagh will it take to win this war?
Chorus:
Well the ebb and flow of history is lapping 'round their rooms as the blinds come rattling down
And they won't notice, that something is going on 'round here
[They won't know]
Oh no they won't notice, they won't notice that, something is going on 'round here
Oh no they won't notice, that something is going on, going on 'round here
Oh no they won't notice, they won't notice that something is going on 'round here
Yeah it's going on 'round here
And they won't notice
They won't notice
They won't notice
They won't notice
Oh no, they won't notice
Oh no, they won't notice
Oh no, they won't notice
Oh no, they won't notice
Oh no, they won't notice
Oh no, they won't notice
Oh no, they won't notice
Oh no, they won't notice
They won't notice
No, they won't notice, that something is going on 'round here
[They won't know]
Oh no they won't notice, they won't notice that, something is going on 'round here
Oh no they won't notice, that something is going on, going on 'round here
Oh no they won't notice, they won't notice that something is going on 'round here
Yeah it's going on 'round here
Something is going on, around here
Something is going on, around here
Something is going on, around here
Something is going on, around here
