Fear in the western world


Your picture of yourself is a media myth
Underneath this floor we're on the edge of a cliff
Someone told me Jesus was the Devil's lover
While we masturbated on a magazine cover

Dead in the streets
Who's that girl?
Ireland screams
Africa burns
Suburbia stumbles
The tides are turned
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western
The Western world

Mama's still on valium, Daddy puts the news on
TV orphans laugh at the confusion
The audience finds itself on the stage
Fifty million people in a state of decay

The party goes on behind elevator doors
While the elevator plummets from the 69th floor
All the cars lost in the scrapyards of paradise
The newspaper photographs have all come alive

I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western
The Western world

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Ultravox sono un gruppo musicale britannico di new wave formatosi a Londra nel 1973. Originariamente chiamati Ultravox! (con il punto esclamativo), il nome richiamava quello del gruppo tedesco Neu!. Dopo i primi due album, hanno eliminato il punto esclamativo. Il loro sound si è evoluto dal progressive rock iniziale ad un synth-pop più elettronico e melodico, influenzando profondamente la scena new wave degli anni '80. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con l'album *Vienna* (1980), che include i singoli "Vienna", "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" e "The Voice”. Midge Ure, cantante e compositore, è diventato il volto del gruppo dopo aver sostituito John Foxx nel 1979. Altri membri importanti sono stati Billy Currie (tastiere) e Chris Cross (basso). Ultravox hanno pubblicato diversi album di successo negli anni '80, tra cui *Rage in Eden* (1981), *Quartet* (1982) e *Lament*. Dopo una pausa nel 1984, il gruppo si è riunito per alcuni tour e progetti sporadici. **Brani rappresentativi:** Vienna, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes, The Voice, Hymn, All Stood Still
