Lyrics Listening wind The Specials

Listening wind


Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill
Mojique thinks of days before Americans came
He sees the foreigners in growing numbers
He sees the foreigners in fancy houses
He thinks of days that he can still remember, now

Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands
Mojique sends the package to the American man
Softly he glides along the streets and alleys
Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover
He feels the time is surely now or never, more

The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart
The dust in my head
The dust in my head
The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart (come to)
Drive them away
Drive them away

Mojique buys equipment in the market place
Mojique plants devices in the Free Trade Zone
He feels the wind is lifting up his people
He calls the wind to guide him on his mission
He knows his friend the wind is always standing, by
Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away
Mojique waits for news in a quiet place
He feels the presence of the wind around him
He feels the power of the past behind him
He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him, on

The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart
The dust in my head
The dust in my head
The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart (come to)
Drive them away
Drive them away

The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart
The dust in my head
The dust in my head
The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart (come to)
Drive them away
Drive them away

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Specials, also known as The Special AKA, are a British musical group formed in Coventry in 1977. Considered one of the leading exponents of the British 2 Tone ska movement of the late 1970s, alongside groups like Madness, The Selecter and The Beat, they managed to combine the energetic rhythm of ska with politically and socially charged lyrics that reflected the tensions and inequalities of the time. Their sound, characterized by a mix of ska, rocksteady and punk, has influenced generations of musicians and continues to be appreciated for its contagious energy and message of hope and change. Among their most representative songs are «Ghost Town», «A Message to You Rudy» and «Too Much Too Young». The self-titled debut album of 1979 is considered a classic of the 2 Tone genre.
