    A cool 30 years after their cult debut album 'Cutting the Heavenly Lawn of Greatness', English pop group Yeah Yeah Noh release 'Automatically Saturday'. In the 80s Yeah Yeah Noh became one of legendary DJ John Peel's all-time favourites, continually confounding fans and critics and legendary DJs by 'sampling' tunes and lyrics, shifting wilfully from scuffling indie to DIY psychedelia, gospel and otherworldly, uncharted pop. The new album continues the eclectic tradition of permanent revolution, drawing on diverse influences to create a chocolate box full of unique pop flavours.

    Note: CD is only 12 tracks.

War Song

lyrics

Singalonga War

peace and love / peace and love
what are they good for?
keep the peace / keep the love
gonna take what's yours

let's start a war no law no order
a war to end all wars
like the war before
cos we're keeping score

let's start a war like we did before
shoot you up get down on the floor
cos there's not enough hippies
are gonna save us all

god smiles down on me
god looks down on you
gave us chemicals and smoke
god gave us green fields, lives of ease
gave us the dirty bomb
come on come on come on let's get it on

let's start a war worth dying for
cause now we're sure
what war is good for
get down on the floor

god smiles down on me
god looks down on you
gave us chemicals and smoke
god gave us green fields and lives of ease
gave us the dirty bomb
come on come on come on let's get it on

Let's start a war like we did before
shoot you up get down on the floor
put your hands in the air
you gotta keep em there

bureaucrats aristocrats
you got a fat cat lowdown bowler hats
don't waste a vote on evil lies
cos evil lies are evil lies

we shall fight with growing strength
fight with growing confidence
whatever the cost may be
we're going to fight 'em in the hills and fields, we're gonna fight 'em in the streets

peace and love / peace and love
what are they good for?
keep the peace / keep the love
let's start a war, Yeah!
