(McNabb)
As the dragonfly flies, as the flowers rise,
As the sleeping streets of azure bend the fool,
As the willow weeps, as the lizard peeps,
Down tepid streams with dreams of passing through,
Chorus: You are what you are
You are what you are
You are what you are
You are what you are
As the hope expires, as the land conspires
As the lily-pads drift softly through a night,
In the musty halls, where invention calls
With the voice of indecision filling fright
Repeat Chorus
Watch it, feel it, hold me, thrill me,
Give it, take it,
As the dragonfly flies...
Repeat Chorus
The Icicle Works were an English alternative rock band active during the 1980s. The band's name derives from the 1960 short story "The Day the Icicle Works Closed" by science fiction author Frederik Pohl. They joined Liverpool's early 1980s 'neo-psychedelia' wave, which also propelled Echo and the Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes to stardom. Their sound was characterized by catchy melodies, powerful guitar riffs and introspective lyrics. Their debut album, "The Icicle Works", released in 1980, received positive critical acclaim. Among their most well-known songs are "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)", "Love Is the Law" and "Great Expectations". The band disbanded in the 1990s but had a significant impact on the British music scene of the 1980s.
