lyrics

They say that travel broadens the mind
but you need a little money first.
I just listen to a tape of some township jive
and I feel I’ve travelled the Earth.

Chorus:
It feels so right, sending,
shivers up and down my spine,
it’s alive, with the hopes and the dreams of countless lives
It’s all mine, every time I press play.
But the trouble is, I’m just a,
a scum class tourist cause I never leave this town
Give me cheap guitars and songs from the heart and
a cut price studio,
whether from Camden Town or Johannesburg,
the truth still needs to be told.

Chorus.

And we gotta stop these fascists
with their cultural purity.
I don’t know about you, 
but Morris dancing’s not for me, no, no, no, it’s not for me,
that’s why I play…

The tenderest forms of communication,
do not need the power of speech.
So while nations’ sing unto their neighbours,
there’ll always be a chance for peace.

Chorus.
