Somewhere In My Heart Lyrics
Summer in the city where the air is still
A baby being born to the overkill
Who cares what people say
We walk down love's motorway
Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers
Somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be is true
A star above the city in the northern chill
A baby being born to the overkill
No say no place to go
A t.v. and a radio
Amibition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers
But who could heal
What's never been as one
And our hearts have been torn
Since the day we were born
Just like anyone
From Westwood to Hollywood
The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll
A baby being born to the overkill
Who cares what people say
We walk down love's motorway
And singing hearts and flowers
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be is true
A baby being born to the overkill
No say no place to go
A t.v. and a radio
And singing hearts and flowers
What's never been as one
And our hearts have been torn
Since the day we were born
Just like anyone
The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll

This song is a socialist call to arms, it's about fighting for your rights to live and love. The 'star that shines for you' is the socialist Morning Star, referenced frequently in Scottish literature, by Grassic-Gibbon, amongst others. 'Silver splits the blue' is both a blade slicing through the right-wing Tory party and looking up to see a frandfather's silver hair against the sky. It's a love song to Red Clydeside and the values that have been implicitly handed down through the generations.
@Pjmelonman - I read your comment and thought, "this guy's just reading into this song according to his beliefs... there's no political undercurrent to this song"... then I unearthed the album on Spotify and heard the last track... it's their version of The Red Flag! Apologies for doubting you - I'm now pretty certain you're right about the socialist references.

This is my song :-)
My mum was pregnant with me when it came out, and, yay I like it anyway.
Band name is tragic though.
@bayberry_moon I was 14 when this was released, and is one of my favourite songs from 1988. Not sure about the Aztec, but the camera is in reference to the lead singer Roddy 'Frame'. They are a great band and have done many other great great songs like Oblivious and Good Morning Britain.
