ZANG TUUMB TUM DISCOGRAPHY “…or the imagination”

Salt in our veins


I love this town
Let me show you around
We’ll meet some old faces
We’ll show you the places I’ve been

Where we all had dreams
But better days like these
My sisters and brothers
We’re not like the others

’cause we conquered the oceans
We were pulled from the river by cranes
From the core of the Empire
And they gave us salt in our veins

Well there’s red and blue
But their one life too
We’re green by south bound
We’ll take you to Strawberry Field

Where nothing is real
In better days like these
But my sisters and brothers
We’re not like the others

We can shake the foundations
You can say that our future’s been sold
You can run for The Big Smoke
But you’ll still be part of the fold

Did you show some emotion
When the city cried out in pain
Where you’ll always be welcome
But you’ll never have salt in your veins

There’s no place like home sweet home
There’s no place like home sweet home
There’s no place like home

Could it be that I see just what I want to see
Do you believe me

So let’s walk down the cobbled streets
Feel the Merseybeat
But my sisters and brothers
We’re not like the others

From the ashes of blitzkrieg
We were teaching the world how to sing
And we went down swinging
And we’re back and were kings of the ring

Build on blood from the black gold
From Hope Street to Penny Lane
But we’re one in a million
’cause we got salt in our veins

We got salt in our veins
We got salt in our veins
We got salt in our veins

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
