Strike Up the Band Lyrics by Talk Talk

Asides Besides

0

[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
