Ultravox - Yellow Pearl Lyrics






We all must beware of the yellow pearl
The Yellow Pearl control, attack, attack, attack, attack
Yellow Pearl
It is foolish to venture into strange enchanted places
If they aren't the places you want to be
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
We will arise
We will control
We will command
We will patrol
It is foolish under the guise of love and liberty
That we should capitalize and rob and fell
The poor for the socialistic tree
We will arise
We will control
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
That's what you lack
We shall arise
They will arise
We shall control
They will control
We shall command
They will command
We shall patrol
They will patrol
We must fight back
We will arise
They will arise
We will control
We are now living in a situation
Where that self same situation depends on the Yellow Pearl
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
We will arise
They will arise
We will control
They will control
We will command
They shall command
We will patrol
They will patrol
Arise
Yellow Pearl's upon us now
We must fight back
We will arise
They will arise
We will control
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
Is what we lack
Don't trust in Liberty
To save your soul
It is genocide to let liberty lose control
Control
We must decide
Control
We the Yellow Pearl we will control

    This song was the radio jingle of 'Hey Music' with Jürgen Jürgens on SFB II Berlin in the 80s. 'Hey Music' was over many decades on every Thursday the amazing Hit-Parade with phantastic rock and pop music.

    There is nothing strange of this sound, it is written and composed by great Midge Ure !!!!

  6. l.... f....

    It's difficult to understand now how great this song was at it's time (you had to be there) Ure/Lynott was a match made in heaven, I wish they had recorded more stuff together.

  7. S.... M....

    Loosely based on Japan attacking Pearl Harbour?

    S.... M....

    More like the Japanese technology invasion of the the early 80s.

    S.... M....

    No I think it was to do with all the japanese imports into the UK. Nowadays it would be the Chinese products which we import but we don't stand up for our own products.

    S.... M....

    Attack attack attack was what was shouted at soccer matches phil said.

  8. A.... ....

    fingerprints of Ure all over

  9. J.... M....

    On a loop in our conscience forever

  10. m.... D....

    amazing. didn't know, they made a record together

    m.... D....

    This is the most famous version here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK4zm7SLvbk

    m.... D....

    mike D'isoard , midge ure was in the group thin Lizzy for a year or so, joined as a base player originally but when Garry Moore joined midge ure went on keyboard .

    m.... D....

    Antonio crawley - Midge Ure NEVER played bass for Thin Lizzy (Philip Lynott was their bass player). When Gary Moore left Thin Lizzy during a US tour, Midge Ure came in to substitute for him as a guitarist. Later, Dave Flett (Manfred Mann's Earthband) replaced Midge Ure on some dates as a guitarist and Midge Ure played keyboards.

    Demon: "The Top Of The Pops!"

  12. y.... p....

    Who ever is thinking about Steven universe don't look at me

  13. S.... ....

    Great song,but lacks the Burundi style drumming by Rusty Egan.The Drums and updated Synth lines really make a difference..

    S.... ....

    I love both versions this the one where Midge has enhanced the track with Rusty on drums  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCVcoXT0Yak
