Mountains of Burma

Transcribed by...Pugwall. Corrections by Jonathan Hart   The tucker box is empty now   the heart of Kelly’s country cleared     and the gangers on the southern line   like the steam trains have disappeared   pelicans glide                miracles up in the sky   we vote for a government with axes in its eyes     Mountains of Burma   the road to Mandalay     In the mountains of Burma   light years away     Mountains of Burma   Will the sons of Solidarity still march on May Day      Will the sisters of the seventies still fight for equal pay   There’s no one on the Reeperbahn      No more blankets handed out for land      We feed an economy thats got blood on its hands     Mountains of Burma   the road to Mandalay     In the mountains of Burma   light years away     Mountains of Burma   the road to Mandalay     In the mountains of Burma   hope you’re light years away   Pack your bags full of guns and ammunition   Bills fall due for the industrial revolution   Scorch the earth ’till the earth surrenders   Soldiers of armies storm empty fields   in a traveller’s trance on the way to the high frontiers   sleepwalkers stumble cable cars run aground   imaginary enemies from high above the clouds     In the Mountains of Burma             etc...
