Lyrics Oh Jungleland - 12'' Version - Simple Minds

Ooh, oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ah-ah
Ooh, oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ah-ah

Somebody's screaming out
Somebody's knocking out
Someone is calling out, "Come here again"
Street bells are ringing out
Young girls are singing out
Boys are building up a big, clean bed
When you got the love first
Here comes the blood
Like a father, a mother, a sister, a chain
Sweet inspiration or a cold-hearted man
She'll stay there, younger than the brothers
The killers of Spain

Oh, jungle land
They call you home sweet home
You make me feel so sad
To leave you all alone
But there's a kid called hope
And he's holding out his hand
He sees the Northern lights
Above this high-rise land
Oh, jungle land

Inner city
Get out of the city pretty quick
I got a friend, I'm gonna sing it to you
"Hey, little children, forget the wild things"
But no one listens 'cause nobody cares
You got the love drugs
You got the long nights
You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven
Here comes summer
Here comes violence
Over your shoulder, the soul bites pain

Oh, jungle land
They call you home sweet home
You make me feel so sad
To leave you all alone
But there's a kid called hope
And he's holding out his hand
He sees the Northern lights
Above this high-rise land

But blood is thicker than water
But blood is sweeter than holy land
Until the devil has caught up
When my love sings a Sumerian song
She sings it

Don't look back, never look back
Don't look back, never look back
Don't look back, never look back
Don't look back, never look back
Don't look back, never look back
Don't look back, never look back
Don't look back

Oh, jungle land
You make me feel so sad
To leave you all alone
Oh, jungle land
You make me feel so sad

You got the love drugs
You got the long nights
You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven
You got the love drugs
You got the long nights
You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven
You got the love drugs
You got the long nights
You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven
You got the love drugs
You got the long nights
You got the heartbeat that
Come on and take me away (Ah-ah)
Come on and take me away (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got the love drugs
You got the long nights
You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven
You got the love drugs
You got the long nights
You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven
Come on and take me away
