Mountain Music |
| 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 |
| It’s got lyrics by a communist and music by a Jew |
| 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 |
