  • 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
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    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 Writer/s: GARY KEMP
