Beating Of Hearts Lyrics
Do you know what noise awakes you
Every morning from your bed
A-coming from the farthest hillside
A-coming from inside your head
You have heard
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can think of
Chorus: Louder than tanks on the highway
Louder than bombers in flight
Louder than noises of hatred
Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love
Powered on the the beating of hearts
And did you know you had this power?
Drumming on it always stays
Never try to use it badly
Tunes of good are all it plays
You have heard
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can visit
Chorus
For a heart without love is a song with no words
And a tune to which no-one is listening
So your heart must give love and you'll find that
You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening
You have heard
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can think of
Louder than thoughts of dictators
Louder than rattling swords
Louder than loading of rifles
Louder than screaming warlords
Chorus
Every morning from your bed
A-coming from the farthest hillside
A-coming from inside your head
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can think of
Louder than bombers in flight
Louder than noises of hatred
Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love
Powered on the the beating of hearts
Drumming on it always stays
Never try to use it badly
Tunes of good are all it plays
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can visit
And a tune to which no-one is listening
So your heart must give love and you'll find that
You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can think of
Louder than rattling swords
Louder than loading of rifles
Louder than screaming warlords

It's basically about the power that love can have, but without making it all sappy and lame
I have to concur with pumkinhed's sentiments.
This song is one of my favorites from XTC 'cos of the lyrics.
