Ultravox - Ultravox – Hymn on on Top of The Pops, 1982.
This version of the single Hymn is a re-recording made for the BBC TV show Top of the Pops for their appearance on 16th December 1982.
At the time it was a requirement of the UK’s Musicians Union organisation that artists who were miming on TV shows re-recorded the songs with the musicians who were performing on the show. Thus, protecting their members against any non-musicians brought in to perform. In most cases the recording would be switched to the original studio version for the performance.
The version here was recorded at Olympic Sound Studios on 14th December 1982 for the 16th December edition of Top of The Pops. It was witnessed and signed off by an MU representative, but never formally mixed. This has been newly mixed for the first time by Richard Whittaker and released as part of the deluxe reissue project of The Collection. For the TV performance recording was switched to the original single version.
Taken from The Collection [Deluxe Edition].
Available on: Limited Edition 4LP | 2LP Black Vinyl | 4CD/2Bluray | 1CD
Released on the 5th December and available for pre-order now.

Lyrics:
When I was a boy theres a dream that I had
That a war if its fought was for good against bad
And I woke up to find that the world had gone mad
And wed all fall down
And I feel like a child again sitting observing
Youre toying with power, your fingers are burning
Youre pushing so hard that the worms wont be turning
Well all fall down
While you try to pretend youre a god upon high
With your party ideals and your squeaky clean lies
When it comes to the crunch youre not smarter than I
And well all fall down
If its colour or creed or your old time religion
Well fighting for that shows a pure lack of vision
The fight that we strive is the fight to survive
And well all fall down
Well look in the mirror and what do you see
An American, Russian, a soldier or me
When youve all pressed the buttons just where will you be
When we all fall down
It gets harder to see just what futures in store for us
Hard to see through all the wool you pull over us
Words that you give are just words to console us
Well all fall down
And what will you do when youve pulled the release
When the sound of the thunder has drowned out the pleas
Cos after all that was your idea of peace
When we all fall down
No sun for a world that once stood so tall
No winds going to blow and no rains going to fall
No flowers for graves, in fact no graves at all
When we all fall down")

Lyrics:
The sound is on the visions move
The image dance starts once again
They shuffle with a bovine grace and glide in syncopation
Just living lines from books weve read
With atmospheres of days gone by
With paper smiles
The screenplay calls a message for the nation
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall
The thin wall
Thin wall
Grey men who speak of victory
Shed light upon their stolen life
They drive by night and act as if theyre moved by unheard music
To step in time and play the part
With velvet voices smooth and cold
Their power games a game no more
And long the chance to use it
And those who dance will spin and turn
And those who wait will wait no more
And those talk will hear the word
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall
The thin wall
Thin wall
The thin wall
The thin wall
The thin wall
And those who dance
The thin wall
And those who talk
The thin wall
And those who sneer
The thin wall
And those who laugh
The thin wall
And those who know
The thin wall
And those who dance
The thin wall
And those who wait
The thin wall
And those who talk

Lyrics:
Native these words seem to me
All speech directed to me
Ive heard them once before
I know that feeling
Stranger emotions in mind
Changing the contours I find
Ive seen them once before
Someone cries to me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
Forceful and twisting again
Wasting the perfect remains
Ive felt it once before
Slipping over me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
Sweetly the voices decay
Draw on the lines that they say
Id lost it once before
Now it cries to me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
The look and the sound of the voice
They try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
The shape and the power of the voice
