A face is raining
Across the border
The pride of history
The same as murder
Is this living
He's been careering
The steady hand as planned
Behind the reasoning
No claim for property
Both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Is this living
He's been careering
Trigger machinery
Mangle the military
No one should be there
Is this living
Blown into breeze
Scatter concrete
The jagged metal bad life
Manufactured
He's been careering
Is this living
A face is raining
Across the border
The pride of history
The same as murder
Is this living careering
There must be meaning
Behind the moaning
Spreading tales
Like coffin nails
Is this living
He's been careering
It's raining
I need to hide
Trigger machinery
I've been careering
Across the border
Is this living
Both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Armoured machinery mangled

maybe 60 years ahead of its time

[iamnotcoolandproud]

The only PiL album that surpasses the quality of Never Mind the Bollocks. Still prefer them to the Pistols by a mile though.

[JDsmiffy1]

Fantastic record - sounds brilliant on the 3 x 12" vinyls turned up as loud as possible! One of my favourite post punk albums.

[the ScreamS]

Total Genius.There will never be another album like this.A total original.Priceless.

[ocpd23]

That sounds about right. Box/2nd edition is a masterpiece.

[rhys graham]

This song never got the fame it deserved.

[barri jill zahn]

Dark and haunting- like a dancing dark cloud

[meeces13]

who gives a fuck

[tanpiltanpil]

Genius. pure and simple. From when I first heard it in 1979 and today in 2012. One of the greatest non rock songs ever.......
