Couldn’t ignore this track. Was released in 1985 and it took me 39 years to discover it!
The lyrics (see below) are dead simple but a great piece.
I quite like this animated Guitar Hero version but the performance by the actual band is equally impressive, see it at the bottom of this page…
She Sells Sanctuary Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Oh, the heads that turn
Make my back burn
And those heads that turn
Make my back, make my back burn
[Verse 2]
The sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive
And the sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive, keeps me alive
[Chorus]
The world
And the world turns around
The world and the world, yeah
The world drags me down
[Verse 3]
Oh, the heads that turn
Make my back burn
And those heads that turn
Make my back, make my back burn, yeah
[Interlude]
Yeah-hey-hey-hey-hey
Yeah-hey-hey-hey
[Verse 4]
The fire in your eyes
Keeps me alive
And the fire in your eyes
Keeps me alive
I’m sure in her you’ll find
The sanctuary
I’m sure in her you’ll find
The sanctuary
[Chorus]
And the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world
The world drags me down
And the world and the world and the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world and the world and the world
The world drags me down
