Well it was a techno D-day out on Omaha beach
|
I was a reserve D.J. playing Columbian mountain beats
|
Andres Landero, ay mi sombrero
|
Hold onto your hats, we gotta go
|
|
Because the noise inspectors with the sound detectors
|
Were coming on down the beach
|
And the councellors wanna pounce on us
|
There we go disturbing the peace
|
And the Cornish sun had only just begun
|
To sink into the western sea
|
So to keep it low so the cops don't know
|
I spun my Harry Belafonte
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
|
On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
|
Out on Omaha beach
|
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
|
And this is all about free speech
|
|
The day became night by the campfire light
|
The crowd began testifying
|
Using the headphones for a mike, for tenor saw's delight
|
I sang another new sound is dying
|
|
On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
|
Where the long arm of the law cannot reach
|
On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
|
We waited on Omaha beach
|
We waited and we waited
|
|
Behind me in the booth was the techno crew
|
Ready with the crucial beats
|
Still, they said keep it low, spin your calypso
|
We're waiting for Babylon to retreat
|
The crowd was ready to riot, they were sick of being quiet
|
We're still waiting for the signal to go
|
Then the walkie talkie gear spat out the all clear
|
And the boys hit the decks in full flow, go, g-g-go
|
|
It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day
|
Way out on Omaha beach
|
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
|
And this is all about free speech
|
Techno D-day, a techno D-day
|
Way out on Omaha beach
|
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
|
And this is about free speech
|
Go, go techno D-day, go techno D-day
|
Sometimes you have to get out of reach
|
It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day
|
And this is all about free speech
|
