(HIDDEN)

FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD

“and now the end is near and we must face the final curtain”[1]

War (Hidden) does indeed differ in treatment from” War (Hide yourself) “Are you still following? It’s hypeless, isn’t it?

This 12" has been arranged by FGTH, TCH and ZTT. It forms a great part of Zang Tuumb Tuuumb’s Hammering Action Series — Number Three. Are you with us? Are you near us? Do you hear us? Say it again…

WAR! (be hidden)

“We are number one because we are bastards” — Brian Nash

When two tribes go to war

A point is all that you can score

Working for the black gas

Cowboy No. 1

A born again poor man’s son, poor man’s son

On the air American

I modelled shirts by Van Heusen

Working for the black gas

When two tribes go to war

A point is all that you can score

FRANKIE SAY BE THE HAMMER! NOT THE ANVIL

TWO TRIBES

(CARNAGE)

FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD

“regrets we’ve had a few but then again too few to mention”[2]

“Defining immorality is of course not an easy task…” Peter Gill

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present Frankie Goes To Hollywood — possibly the most important thing this side of the world

You may pronounce this daily a thousand times over but the goddess of the eternal court of history will smile and tear to tatters the brief of the state prosecutor and the sentence of this court — for she acquits us

Condemn me x 2

History will absolve me[3]

Singing this will be the day that I die[4]

If your grandmother or any other member of the family should die whilst in the shelter put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes x 1

Go to war Go to war Go to war SUNG

Just think of it war breaks out and nobody turns up

If any member of the family should die whilst in the shelter put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes

If any member of the family should die whilst in the shelter from contamination put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes

If your grandmother or any other member of your family should die whilst in the shelter put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes

It’s enough to make you wonder sometimes if you are on the right planet

When you hear the air attack warning you and your family must take cover. Do not stay out of doors. If you are caught in the open lie down

Let’s go

When two tribes go to war etc…

And now here is a reminder about fall out warnings

When fall out is expected you will hear 3 bangs in short succession like this…

In some areas the warning may be given by means of 3 gongs like this…

Or you may hear 3 whistles

All these 3 types of sounds indicate that fall out is expected

When two tribes etc…

When you hear them you must stay in the safest position in the house

Keep the doors shut

Do not go outside until you are told to do so

This is the all clear

When you hear this sound you can leave your home
