Beating Of Hearts Lyrics - Mummer - Xtc

Do you know what noise awakes you 

Every morning from your bed 

A-coming from the farthest hillside 

A-coming from inside your head 

You have heard 

You have heard the loudest sound 

In this and every world you can think of 

[Chorus:] 

Louder than tanks on the highway 

Louder than bombers in flight 

Louder than noises of hatred 

Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love 

Powered on the the beating of hearts 

And did you know you had this power? 

Drumming on it always stays 

Never try to use it badly 

Tunes of good are all it plays 

You have heard 

You have heard the loudest sound 

In this and every world you can visit 

[Chorus] 

For a heart without love is a song with no words 

And a tune to which no-one is listening 

So your heart must give love and you'll find that 

You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening 

You have heard 

You have heard the loudest sound 

In this and every world you can think of 

Louder than thoughts of dictators 

Louder than rattling swords 

Louder than loading of rifles 

Louder than screaming warlords 

[Chorus]
