I've got that mountain music in me |
|
But not since I was born |
|
I learned about it yesterday |
|
From a CD-ROM |
|
I've got that mountain music in me |
|
I'll play it till I'm dead |
|
Like a synthesiser sequencer |
|
I've got it in my head |
|
Singing ah ah yuppy digital deck |
|
Johnny Cash, Jupiter, 24 track |
|
Anyone can do it |
|
That's the beauty, see |
|
A Pakistani Indian |
|
Or a kid from Tennessee |
|
Well you can play that music straight |
|
But mix a synthesiser in |
|
And it might become a symbol of the world we're living in |
|
I've got that mountain music in me |
|
Deep in memory |
|
Time-stretched in my sampler |
|
On my Rio mp3 |
|
I've got the mountains on a Minidisc |
|
Right next to my heart |
|
And when I press the play button |
|
I hear the music start |
|
It never was so simple |
|
It never was so pure |
|
The folks who made it never were |
|
So ignorant and poor |
|
They travelled round the world |
|
And never stayed where they belonged |
|
And if they had we'd never have |
|
These lovely mountain songs |
|
'Moon Of Alabama' is my favourite country tune |
|
And when those fellers wrote it they were living in Berlin |
|
I guess that is a symbol of the world we're living in |
|
Singing |
|
Ay ay yuppy, digital deck |
|
Johnny Cash, Casio, Dylan and Beck |
|
Grand Ol' Oprah Winfrey, Massive Attack |
|
Johnny Cash, Casio, Bruce Haack |
|
Ay ay yuppy, Dylan and Beck |
|
You and me might as well be on Star Trek |
