about

Richard Wright Tribute 3 of 3
Written by Richard Wright and Anthony Moore. First appeared on Wright's second solo album, Broken China (1996). Broken China was intended to be an instrumental album until Wright recorded a vocal track for Night of a Thousand Furry Toys on a whim.

lyrics

Now you feel it, a shiver, and you begin
Frozen breath that spreads across the skin
A sound you never heard before: you screaming.

Welcome to the world of random noise,
Where you simply haven't got a choice
When we push your levers and pull your strings.

It's another world,
It's a better world that we bring.

Here you are on the planet of hot and cold,
Where you'll do exactly as you're told.

[Telephone]: In the world of a thousand furry toys,
You can hear the screams of little girls and boys.
It's a charming noise if you really want that kind of thing, Mama.
Mmmm...

Now you feel it, a shiver, and you've begun.
When they pull your strings, how you'll start to run.
And there's no stepping off
Or stepping down.

It's another world,
It's a better world.
That's what we have found.
