Letra de Mountain Music
I've got that mountain music in me

But not since I was born

I learned about it yesterday

From a CD-ROM

I've got that mountain music in me

I'll play it till I'm dead

Like a synthesiser sequencer

I've got it in my head



Singing ah ah yuppy digital deck

Johnny Cash, Jupiter, 24 track



Anyone can do it

That's the beauty, see

A Pakistani Indian

Or a kid from Tennessee

Well you can play that music straight

But mix a synthesiser in

And it might become a symbol of the world we're living in



I've got that mountain music in me

Deep in memory

Time-stretched in my sampler

On my Rio mp3

I've got the mountains on a Minidisc

Right next to my heart

And when I press the play button

I hear the music start



It never was so simple

It never was so pure

The folks who made it never were

So ignorant and poor

They travelled round the world

And never stayed where they belonged

And if they had we'd never have

These lovely mountain songs



'Moon Of Alabama' is my favourite country tune

It's got lyrics by a communist and music by a Jew

And when those fellers wrote it they were living in Berlin

I guess that is a symbol of the world we're living in



Singing

Ay ay yuppy, digital deck

Johnny Cash, Casio, Dylan and Beck



Grand Ol' Oprah Winfrey, Massive Attack

Johnny Cash, Casio, Bruce Haack



Ay ay yuppy, Dylan and Beck

You and me might as well be on Star Trek
