FRANKIE SAY INSPIRATION CERTAINLY EXISTS!
WAR
(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 —
WAR! (be hidden)
“We are number one because we are bastards” —
When two great warrior tribes go to war
Let’s go
When two tribes go to war
A point is all that you can score
Score no more score no more
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
Score no more score no more
When two tribes go to war
A point is all that you can score
Working for the black gas
Switch off your shield
Switch off and feel
Working on loving yeah
Give me back the good times
Ship it out
Enjoy I feel I’m real
Working for the black gas
Tell the world that you’re winning
Love and life yeah
Listen to the voice sing follow me
Listen to the voice sing follow me oh
When two tribes go to war
A point is all that you can score
When two tribes go to war
A point is all that you can score
We got two tribes
We got the spunk
We got the spunk yeah
Sock it to me biscuits
Are we living in a land
Where sex and horror are the new gods yeah When two tribes go to war
A point is all that you can score

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present Frankie Goes To Hollywood —
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
