LYRICS

Headhunters, headshrinkers and long distance runners Dust gathers on momentoes-Dust gathers on proud moments Young voices grow thick and old
The cheers are distant wearing thin
Chorus:
Take it to the wall
to be hung on the wall, to be viewed by all a tribute in the grand hall

Yes they're locked away or polished every day for the maintenence man-in the back of a van Oh young voices grow thick and old
The cheers are distant wearing thin

(Chorus)

Bring yourselves out from your showcase parties But you've been shut away too long
you've been shut away too long
Frightened faces in the rain
Misplaced features run down the drain
Oh wash away and start again

(Chorus)
