about

When I think of "Elemental" I think of the first album without Curt Smith, and that Roland Orzabal was a genius: his voice, his songwriting.
"Power" is one of those songs that you might find towards the end of an album, not meant to be a single, but that might conquer you for its personality.

When I thought of this project, I had clearly in mind this should have been the closing track, and, opposite to its title, I wanted something calm, relaxing, soothing for the soul.

And when I come to this, the feeling I get is the feeling I meant. And it makes me want to start all over listening.

lyrics

Last years rivals share their blood
Sailor sworn to secrecy
Ride the waves and stem the flood
The tides of endless enmity

Power now is all the rage
Sons and daughters of the gun
Hungry babies come of age
Phasers switched and set to stun

Power now, power how, power wow!
Here's power
If you're seeking power . . .

Doctor held you tight and torn
Boy he was a lucky man
Out of you the future born
Slight of foot and sight of hand

Douse the candle, dim the light
Focus not on fire or flame
Don't believe that might is right
Your soul can turn you just the same

Power now, power how, power wow !
If you're seeking power - here's power
Power now, power how, power wow !
If you're seeking power - here's power

If you take my breath away
The whole damn thing will turn and return
Redefined, rearranged, rearranged

And till my dying the day
I guess I'll have to burn just to learn
This the time, this the place
To show a human face

Dressed to kill we guessed you might
Friend or foe or family
We'll sacrifice the Virgin white
Her death will be the life of me
Power now is all the rage
Don't excuse it use it well
Keep the lion in his cage
Free from hunger, free from hell

Power now, power how, power wow !
If you're seeking power - here's power!
