Lyrics:
Woods and Nilsson, Shirtliff, King
Warhurst, Waddle made to swing
Sheridan, Pearson, Harkes and Hyde
Wilson, Watson feel my pride
Worthington, Plamer, Anderson, Hirst
Drink the nectar, quench my thirst
Bartman, Jemson, Bright
Catch the feeling and you're out of sight
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Monday, Tuesday, it's out funday
Wednesday, the day is clear
Just two years since we've been here
If half the city dream in blue
Then half of us belong to you
The path is long, the way is wide
Barker, Francis side by side
Forgive me my thinking that you down South
Wag the tail you're the horses mouth
Feed the papers, believe the hype
The truth is unfolding with the stars in stripes
Grass is greener on the northern side
The way is clearer with the changing tide
Hearts go out to the hearts that gave
Fortune favours the new blue wave
Woods and Nilsson, Shirtliff, King
Warhurst, Waddle make me sing
Sheridan, Pearson, Harkes and Hyde
Wilson, Watson on your side
Worthington, Palmer, Andreson, Hirst
There's only one place and that place is first
Bartman, Jemson, Bright
Bust a move and hold on tight

MIXMAG Heaven 17 Sounddisc

From the personal library of Heaven 17, the sounds on this ethereal Soundisc release evade easy categorization by disregarding conventional musical genre groupings. With widely useful samples, the Heaven 17 Soundisc incorporates elements of dub, electro, ambient, house, drum & bass, techno, breakbeat, tribal, and world musical styles in an array of tempos and timbres. Powerful basslines and spacious drum loops stabilize some haunting and soulful electronic musical bits, pads, synths, and FX. New levels of creative possibilities go to the holders of this Soundisc.

The programme was filmed largely in Sheffield, the group's hometown
