primeiro disco de Bob. Foi produzida por Chuck Plotkin e Bob Dylan.

A
letra:
In
the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need When the
pool of tears beneath my feet floods every newborn seed There's a
dying voice within me reaching out somewhere Toiling in the danger
and the morals of despair
Don't have the inclination to look back
on any mistake Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I
must break In the fury of the moment I can see the master's
hand In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the
weeds of yesteryear Like criminals, they have choked the breath of
conscience and good cheer The sun beams down upon the steps of
time to light the way To ease the pain of idleness and the memory
of decay
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's
angry flame And every time I pass that way I'll always hear my
name Then onward in my journey I come to understand That every
hair is numbered like every grain of sand
I have gone from rags to riches in the
sorrow of the night In the violence of a summer's dream, in the
chill of a wintry light In the bitter dance of loneliness fading
into space In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten
face
I hear the ancient footsteps like the
motion of the sea Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other
times it's only me I am hanging in the balance of the reality of
man Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand

ele um Vegemite sandwich, que ele não havia encontrado em canto
algum. Começa com o cantor dizendo que “travelling in a fried-out
kombi, on a hippie trail, head full of zombie”. Fried out era uma
gíria australiana que significa que a Kombi estava bem fudida.
Zombie era um tipo de maconha. Hippie Trail era uma rota popular nos
anos 60 e 70, que ia do oeste da Europa até o suldeste da Ásia. E
continua dizendo: “Where beer does flow and men chunder”. Chunder
quer dizer vomitar. Foi tocada pela banda no encerramento das
Olimpíadas de Sydney, em 2000. A banda resolveu colocar uma música

e tocou guitarra. Greg Ham tocou flauta e frz backing vocals. Ron
Strykert tocou guitarra e fez backing vocals. John Rees tocou baixo e

Traveling
in a fried-out Kombi On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I
met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me
breakfast And she said
"Do you come from a land down
under Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't
you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover"
Buying bread from a man in Brussels He
was six-foot-four and full of muscle I said, "Do you speak-a
my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite
sandwich And he said
"I come from a land down
under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear,
can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover,
yeah"
Lying in a den in Bombay With a
slack jaw and not much to say I said to the man, "Are you
trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty" And
he said
Oh, "Do you come from a land down
under? (Oh, yeah-yeah) Where women glow and men plunder? Can't
you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better
take cover", 'cause we are
Living in a land down under Where

Living in a land down under Where

little golden boy
He's got a degree in economics Maths,
physics and bionics He thinks that I'm a cabbage 'Cause I hate
University Challenge Even at the age of ten Smart boy Kevin was
a smart boy then He always beat me at Subbuteo 'Cause he
'flicked to kick' And I didn't know
Oh, my perfect cousin What I like to
do he doesn't He's his family's pride and joy His mother's
little golden boy
His mother bought him a synthesiser Got
the Human League into advise her Now he's making lots of
noise Playing along with the art school boys Girls try to
attract his attention But what a shame, it's in vain, total
rejection He will never be left on the shelf 'Cause Kevin, he's
in love with himself

que tinha Dreams of Child como Lado A. Foi produzida por Vic
Coppersmith-Heaven. Chegou ao número 1 no Reino Unido. A banda teve
outros três números 1 na carreira, mas Going underground foi o
primeiro. A letra tem um sentimenti shakesperiano, uma vez que ela
avisa às massas que ele devem reconhecer suas coletividades contra o
poder da hierarquia. A crítica parte aguda à Margaret Thatcher e o
partido conservador, que haviam ganho no Reino Unido, a apatia dos
eleitores que acham que a levou ao poder. Fala também do completo
industrial-militar. A guitarra lembra And your bird can sing, dos
Beatles. Nunca saiu em nenhum dis 6 discos de estúdios da banda.

people might say my life is in a rut I'm quite happy with what I
got People might say that I should strive for more, but I'm so
happy I can't see the point Something's happening here today A
show of strength with your boy's brigade And I'm so happy and
you're so kind You want more money, of course I don't mind To
buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes And the public gets what
the public wants But I want nothing this society's got
I'm going underground (going
underground) Well, if the brass bands play and feet start to
pound Going underground (going underground) Well, let the boys
all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow
Some people might get some pleasure out
of hate Me, I've enough already on my plate People might need
some tension to relax Me? I'm too busy dodging between the
flak What you see is what you get You've made your bed, you
better lie in it You choose your leaders and place your trust As
their lies wash you down and their promises rust You'll see kidney
machines replaced by rockets and guns And the public wants what
the public gets But I don't get what this society wants
I'm going underground (going
underground) Well, if the brass bands play and feet start to
pound Going underground (going underground) So let the boys all
sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow
la-la-la-la (Oh) la-la-la-la
We talk and we talk until my head
explodes I turn on the news and my body froze This braying
sheep on my TV screen Make this boy shout, make this boy
scream Going underground I'm going underground I'm going
underground I'm going underground
Braying sheep on my TV screen Make
this boy shout, make this boy scream
Going underground (going
underground) Well, if the brass bands play and feet start to
pound Going underground (going underground) Well, let the boys
all sing and let the boys all shout

Life
is a moment in space When the dream is gone It's a lonelier
place I kiss the morning good-bye But down inside you know We
never know why
The road is narrow and long When
eyes meet eyes And the feeling is strong I turn away from the
wall I stumble and fall But I give you it all
I am a woman in love And I'd do
anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a
right I defend Over and over again What do I do?
With you eternally mine In love
there is No measure of time We planned it all at the start That
you and I Live in each others heart
We may be oceans away You feel my
love I hear what you say No truth is ever a lie I stumble
and fall But I give you it all
I am a woman in love And I'd do
anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's
a right I defend Over and over again What do I do?
I am woman in love And I'm talking
to you You know I know how you feel What a woman can do It's
a right I defend Over and over again
I am a woman in love And I'd do
anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a
right I defend Over and over again What do I do?

repeating That you'll never fall in love When everybody keeps
retreating But you can't seem to get enough
Let my love open the door Let my
love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart (let
my love open the door, ooh) (Let my love open the door) (Let my
love open the door, ooh) (Let my love open the door)
When everything feels all
over Everybody seems unkind I'll give you a four-leaf
clover Take all worry out of your mind
Let my love open the door Let my
love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart (let
my love open the door, ooh) To your heart (let my love open the
door, ooh) (Let my love open the door, ooh) (Let my love open
the door, ooh)
The only key to your heart That can
stop you falling apart Try today, you'll find this way Come on
and give me a chance to say
Let my love open the door It's all
I'm livin' for Release yourself from misery There's only one
thing gonna set you free
That's my love That's my love Let
my love open the door (ooh) Let my love open the door (ooh) Let
my love open the door (ooh) Let my love open the door
When tragedy befalls you (ooh) Don't
let it drag you down Love can cure your problems (ooh) You're
so lucky I'm around
Let my love open the door Let my
love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart
