Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill
Mojique thinks of days before Americans came
He sees(serves) the foreigners in growing numbers
He sees the foreigners in fancy houses
He dreams of days that he can still remember...now.
Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands
Mojique sends the package to the American man
Softly he glides along the streets and alleys
Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover
He feels the time is surely now or never...more.
The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart
The dust in my head
The dust in my head
The wind in my heart
Tu sei sgangheraaa........AT THIS POINT
(Come to) Drive them away
Drive them away.
Mojique buys equipment in the market place
Mojique plants devices through the free trade zone
He feels the wind is lifting up his people
He calls the wind to guide him on his mission
He knows his friend the wind is always standing...by.
Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away
Mojique waits for news in a quiet place
He feels the presence of the wind beside(around) him
He feels the power of the past behind him
He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him...on.

| ozsubscriber (Western Australia) | Posted: Jan 12, 2012 - 04:37 This is a great stereo track. I really must get a second speaker. |
| Stranglersfan (Revelstoke, B.C.) | Posted: Dec 11, 2011 - 09:15 Listened to this album in its entirety, recently on headphones. Its very Trippy and Heady. I think it was truly innovative for its time. It is still a terrific listen. What do you expect when you have a bunch of creative geniuses, coupled with an Eno production! Very Cool. |
| Byronape ("post-capitalist wreckageville") | Posted: Nov 25, 2011 - 19:06 One of the few TH songs that I like. Don't know why I dislike them on average... other than I think DB tries to be weird just to be weird. |
| terrapin52 (Terrapin Station, SC) | Posted: Nov 25, 2011 - 19:05 I get it. You played this to punish me for my last comment. Well played. Well played. |

After hearing this song and that album at my friend's house with a little smoken enhancement, I understood the world had changed, and music had brought new forms of poetry, gritty dirt and beauty to my world. This is a great, great song about how a terrorist evolved from American intervention, done in a very innovative and entrancing way. And it was nothing like anything I'd heard before, and it was absolutely spell binding. From this song and CD, my ears opened to Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, the Sex Pistols, the Pretenders, ska and all the great new wave music and punkers of the early 80's. Punk was '70's music dude... |

I believe this is the FIRST time I've heard the original version, here or anywhere else. I've only heard the Peter Gabriel version here (which does seem to get played fairly regularly) — and sorry to say I prefer Peter's version to the original. I had always wondered who did the original, so I'm glad to know now! |
