Lyrics:

Mike Scott & Karl Wallinger)





Here we are in a special place

what are you gonna do here?

now we stand in a special place

what will you do here?

what show of soul

are we gonna get from you?

it could be Deliverance

or History

under these skies so blue

but if I know you you'll

bang the drum like monkeys do





Here we are in a fabulous place

what are you gonna dream here?

we are standin' in this fabulous place

what are you gonna play here?

I know you love the high life

you love to leap around

you love to beat your chest

and make your sound

but not here man!

- this is sacred ground

with a power flowing through

and if I know you you'll

bang the drum like monkeys do





Now we stand on a rocky shore

your father stood here before you

I can see his ghost explore you

I can feel the sea implore you

not to pass on by

not to walk on by and not to try

- just to let it come

don't bang the drum

just let it come

don't bang the drum

do you know how to let it come now?

don't bang the drum now

just let it come now

don't bang the drum now

don't bang the drum
