Controversy
(Music: Steer)
(Lyrics: Walker)
Raised in a nursery of crumbling brick
Rusted iron, cracked stone and steel
Nurtured in a barren concrete crib
In a playground of grey, your fate is sealed
Against a back drop of drab, cold corrosion
We learn to dance, love, sing and play
Razor wire the strung umbilical cord
In an unsterile womb of urban decay
Let me take you down
As I'm going too
Play hard - like child's play
Playing rough - after all it's only a game
(lead)
Now, redevelopment lies in ruins
As gutted slums are sown
Enveloping, smothering squalo

Starbird (Mann, Slade)
Starbird let your cry lead us all through
the night
Rising from the ashes, your light'll show us
the way
Starbird you can fly me take me everywhere
you go
Roaring with the windsong, burning in your
fiery glow
Screaming through the darkness
Roaring with the windsong
Starbird keep your light shining for all to see
