XTC — Beating of Hearts

[Verse 1] Do you know what noise awakes you Every morning from your bed A-coming from the farthest hillside A-coming from inside your head [Chorus] You have heard You have heard the loudest sound In this and every world you can think of 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 by the beating of hearts [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] And you have heard You have heard the loudest sound In this and every world you can visit 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 by the beating of hearts [Bridge] 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 the rain on the leaves, you'll be glistening [Chorus] 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 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 by the beating of hearts
