Typically Yello do not publish their lyrics. When Zebra was released, I and one or two others transcribed what we heard as the lyrics, perhaps we can do the same again this time? I have not had the time to do this from scratch, so if anyone would like to post what they have so far? - -- - -- We are the architects, not the victims, of our own destiny -- - -- nic nic at python demon co uk http://www.python.demon.co.uk/ -- - -- Bolton, UK website http://www.bolton.org.uk/ -- - -- Warning!
