Ugly Band |
| Heat and dust |
| A shout above the din |
| Pushed into the corner |
| The creeping little thing |
| Down in the basement the ugly band plays |
| In the middle of the night |
| A light behind the door |
| Stubbing out a cigarette and stumbling to the floor |
| Outside in the desert |
| Out across the waves |
| We’re listening to the country boys and dancing on their graves |
| Down in the basement the ugly band plays |
| Me and my brother Clive |
| We were chased like dogs |
| Down by the harbour-side while the captain burned the log |
| The submarines go sailing |
| Out under the sea |
| Off to melt the ice cap and make the deserts bloom |
| Down in the basement the ugly band plays |
| On the surface of the atlas |
| Distorted by greed |
| Bright rainbow boundaries and deep hollow seas |
| And God is in his heaven |
| Blowing clouds around |
| Tuning in his radio and listening to the sounds |
| Down in the basement the ugly band plays |
| Tired of his music and licking its teeth |
| Heat and dust and broken finger nails |
| The tracks of my tears stretch out on dirty little roads |
| Down in the basement the ugly band plays |
| Tired of his music and licking its teeth |
