TOYAH - ANTHEM

It's A Mystery

Somewhere in the distance
Hidden from my view
Suspended in the atmosphere
Waiting to come through

Sometimes it's so far away
Sometimes it's very near
A sound being carried by the wind
Just loud enough to hear

I feel its power within me
Bells ringing in my head
So often I have heard its cry
But forgotten what I said

Chorus:
It's a mystery, oh it's a mystery
I'm still searching for a clue
It's a mystery to me
A shot in the dark
The big question mark in history
Is it a mystery to you?

It can treat you with a vengeance
Trip you in the dark
Sirens in the distance
Can steer you from the path

It can lift you to the heavens
Put your troubles in the past
Whisper the elixir
Then vanish in a blast

(chorus)

I Want To Be Free

I'm bored

I don't want to go to school
Don't want to be nobody's fool
I want to be me
I want to be me

I don't want to be sweet and neat
I don't want someone living my live for me
I want to be free

Chorus:
I'm going to turn this world inside out
Going to turn suburbia upside down
Going to walk the streets, scream and shout
Going to crawl through the alleyways
Being very loud

I don't want to be told what to wear
As long as you're warm who cares?
I want to be me
I want to be me

So what if I dye my hair?
I've still got a brain up there
And I'm going to be me
I'm going to be free

(chorus)
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down

Tear down the wallpaper
Turf out the cat
Tear up the carpet
And get rid of that
Blow up the TV
Blow up the car
Without these things
You don't know where you are
Pull down the abattoirs
And all that's obscene
Everything in life
Should be totally free
We should live and let live
And all live our dreams

(chorus x2)

I'm going to be free (x5)

Thunder In The Mountains

Where the mountains meet the sea
And lights spit stains on the scenery
And the air is heavy with a sticky unease
I wish for my world of make believe
And the rebel in my soul says go
And the rebel in my soul says go

Chorus:
Can you hear it breaking through?
Can you hear it breaking through?
Thunder and lightning
Thundering, thundering in the mountains

There's a motorway, it's a monument
To distant cities with distant cries
A problem, an explosion
Just a spark sets the anger in motion
And the rebel in my soul says go
And the rebel in my soul says go

(chorus)

Can you hear it in the mountains?

(chorus)

And it's breaking through
Breaking through
Breaking through...
