Manhattan Transfer, The - This Independence Lyrics
The light is bending early
Around the prodigal
The gunner whispers gently
His shadow on the wall
The crowd is bursting from me
It finds its freedom early
They're going to take it all
This independence
We are the metal shell
10,000 bodies
Run from an empty well
All of your lovers
Are heroes in my bed
All night the echoes
A falling body near me
A silent angry cry
A miracle of purpose
Looks up into the sky
A camera crew is running
The world is shrinking fast
Tonight you drink your coffee
And watch the world aghast
This independence
We are the metal shell
10,000 bodies
Run from an empty well
All of your lovers
Are heroes in my bed
All night the echoes
Of breathing heads
A camera crew is running
The world is shrinking fast
Tonight you drink your coffee
And watch the world aghast
This independence
We are the metal shell
10,000 bodies
Run from an empty well
All of your lovers
Are heroes in my bed
All night the echoes
Of breathing heads
This independence
We are the metal shell
10,000 bodies
Run from an empty well
All of your lovers
Are heroes in my bed
All night the echoes
Of breathing heads

Manhattan Transfer, The This Independence Comments
This was a sharp contemporary sound from a group who'd paid ample homage to music of the 1940s and early 50s. Brilliant airy vocal arrangements and that throbbing bass anchoring everything down. Saw them do this live in Auckland. Magic.

A song writen by Marc Jordan and John Capek. Marc included is in his "Talking through pictures" album in 1987. Great song.
indimenticabile!
A tribute to this awesome group. A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE
Love it!
Fantastic tune. Probably one of the best things they did.
First heard this song in 1989 on a mellow rock station out of Calgary, Alta., absolute classic.
Another great tune from
one of Mad Dad's favorite
groups. Excellent
arrangement.
Why r all the best tunes the ones that don't make a dent on the charts? LIke this one for instance.
Just love the MT! I had this album on vinyl but today on CD. Great songs all of them!
this whole album is great great great!!!!!!!!
