Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood (BBC 6 Music Gideon Coe session) Songtext
von Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Now that everybody′s here, could we please have your attention?
There is nothing left to fear
No, now that Bigfoot is captured
But, are the children really right, alright, alright?
But, are the children really right, alright, alright?
Now, are the children all alright?

There is danger in the night
There are things we can't control
But, will we give ourselves a fright when we become less than human?
There are people who say, "Why, oh, why, oh, why?"
Now, there are other ways to die
Oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why?

But, upon this tidal wave
Oh, God, oh, God
But, upon this tidal wave, oh, God, oh, God
Of young blood, young blood
Young blood, young blood
Young blood, young blood
Young blood, young blood


We are men who stay alive who send your children away, now
We are calling from a tower expressing what must be everyone′s opinion
"They are going out to bars and they are getting into cars
I have seen them with my own eyes
America, please help them!"

Now they are child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars
Child stars, child stars with their sex, and their drugs
And their rock, and rock, and rock, and rock and roll, hey!
