Musclebound (BBC session: Studio B15, 15/03/1981) Songtext
von Spandau Ballet

We′re building fires that will burn until morning
The smell of books and hot stone surrounds us
Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we make

We feel the steam as it rises around us
Up from the soil that is cracking its back
Tough is the leather that′s strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we sing

Work till you're musclebound, all night long
Work till you're musclebound, all night long
Gotta work till you′re musclebound, all night long
Gotta work till you′re musclebound, all night long


We're building fires that will burn until morning
The smell of books and hot stone surrounds us
Tough is the leather that′s strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we make

To feel the pulsing from chanter to mountain
Down through the vein and into the grain
Strong is the shoulder that moves to the time
Here is the land it can break

Work till you're musclebound, all night long
Work till you′re musclebound, all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound, all night long
Gotta work till you′re musclebound, all night long

Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we sing

Work till you're musclebound, all night long
Work till you′re musclebound, all night long
Gotta work till you′re musclebound, all night long
Work till you're musclebound, all night long
