The Lyrics
This song has also been done more recently by Marc Almond.....
In sentiment, a dirty cheat
Stalks and scorns and not discreet
Observes so long from a retreat
Watched by a 'sensitive one'?
Their eyes rove around the place
Every move of ours is traced
What they want is then erased
This space is not much fun
The crazed and surly censor
Ah ah ah
Erases expression
Free press gags and takes a gasp
Raving censor is an arse
Incomplete shields that will not last
Crumble before long
Liberties are only fair
So slithering censor you beware
Your lies and evil do not scare
And your grass has run....
The crazed and surly censor
Ah ah ah
Erases expression
Surely you can't stop thinkin'
Just get trouble on your chin
Your censorship is in the bin
We're made to have freedom
We're made to dance upon our feet
Not to you kowtow in defeat
We'll talk with no fear on the street
Wherever sits the sun
You crazed and surly censor
Ah ah ah
Your time has surely come
We're not bent, we don't cheat
Tho' embers burn, we're not beat
Y'can't control how our minds meet
Our way is for freedom
So surely don't you see? It's clear
All we are will come to bear
The things we've learnt and memories
Are where we all come from
You crazed and surly censor
Ah ah ah
Your time has surely come.......
Stalks and scorns and not discreet
Observes so long from a retreat
Watched by a 'sensitive one'?
Their eyes rove around the place
Every move of ours is traced
What they want is then erased
This space is not much fun
The crazed and surly censor
Ah ah ah
Erases expression
Free press gags and takes a gasp
Raving censor is an arse
Incomplete shields that will not last
Crumble before long
Liberties are only fair
So slithering censor you beware
Your lies and evil do not scare
And your grass has run....
The crazed and surly censor
Ah ah ah
Erases expression
Surely you can't stop thinkin'
Just get trouble on your chin
Your censorship is in the bin
We're made to have freedom
We're made to dance upon our feet
Not to you kowtow in defeat
We'll talk with no fear on the street
Wherever sits the sun
You crazed and surly censor
Ah ah ah
Your time has surely come
We're not bent, we don't cheat
Tho' embers burn, we're not beat
Y'can't control how our minds meet
Our way is for freedom
So surely don't you see? It's clear
All we are will come to bear
The things we've learnt and memories
Are where we all come from
You crazed and surly censor
Ah ah ah
Your time has surely come.......
