Rage, rage, rage, rage
Rage hard
Laugh like the head of Apollo
Young and strong on the wings of tomorrow
Rise up in millions get off your knees
Dispelling the demons
In the valley of danger
We all work together
Sculptures in sorrow with love light to follow on
Sweet head of Apollo
Rage hard, into the light
Rage hard, doing it right, doing it right
Rage hard, against the dark
Rage hard, make your mark
Let the tournament begin
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Strength to rise up, strength to win
Strength to save the world from losing
Rage hard, into the light
Rage hard, doing it right
Rage hard, against the dark
Rage hard
Rage
Rage hard
The blue eyes of children
They shine without fear
Hope is the future with oceans of cheer
(Nothing to fear) There’s nothing to fear
The laughter of angels
Resounding from heaven
Keep fighting the favours of charlatan saviours
Charlatan saviours
Rage hard, into the light
Rage hard, doing it right, doing it right
Rage hard, against the dark
Rage hard, make your mark
Let the tournament begin
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Rage hard, into the light
Rage hard, doing it right
Rage hard, against the dark
Rage hard, make your mark
I don’t know which way to go
My love’s like driven snow
When we pass the test of time
My love you shall be mine
And if only lost and lonely
Is all that’s wrong with me
We’ll be free
Be free, be free
Laugh like the head of Apollo
Young and strong on the wings of tomorrow
Rage hard
Rage hard
Let the tournament begin
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Rage hard, into the light
Rage hard, doing it right
Let the tournament begin
Rage hard
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Strength to rise up, strength to win
Strength to save the world from losing

Listen
Do you want to know a secret
Move with me inside the strange world of the twelve inch
Where nothing is as it seems
Where everything has its place
And there’s a place for everything
And anything can happen
Let me take you on a tour of the twelve inch
Using this special extension of Rage Hard as our example
We have begun
It is of course Frankie and Frankie only
Around we go
Under through up and under
Watch out here for the guitar
Let it sustain
Now our favourite
The funky guitar
Always note the sequencer
This will never let us down
Let it have its wicked way
We are sliding good
Building fast
The perky percussion
How does it feel
The god like bass guitar
A hey of backing vocals
Rage
A lust of deep dark synthesizer
And we shall be teased by a long merciless reverb
The break down
So you can lie down
The whip
If you know what I mean
Do what you are told
Those repeat echoes
An essential part of a twelve inch is the climax
Yes
But first
Yes
The anti-climax
The lads with electric disgust
Paul Rutherford here for the smell of it
How does it feel
Hard
Do what you are told
Move with me over the thrill of the twelve inch
Do what you are told
The whip
Do what you are told
The whip
Do what you are told
The fall and the rise
The whip
The fall
The whip
We are sliding good
Building fast
The beginning
And the end
The rush and the thrust
The speed and the sweat
The vocals of Holly Johnson
Yes
We are at the centre of a riff
Rage
Rage hard
The fall
And the rise
The beginning
And the end
The rush and the thrust
The speed and the sweat
It is of course Frankie and Frankie only
You flipping me off
The climax
The climax
Rage…
