Lyrics for Song: War Boys
Lyrics for Album: Anthem [2005]
We're the lords of the jungle –
We're the war boys,
We're the ones who make all the noise.
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Up with the dawn,
It's just another day;
On with the warpaint,
It's just another day.
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
We're the lords of the dawn
I'm a child of the birth sublime,
Nubile warriors drifting with time.
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
We live every day
As though it's our last,
One step wrong
We're a thing of the past.
Obscure objects
With strange desires –
Step in our way,
We'll burn you with fire!
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
The sun goes down,
It's been another day –
The lights go out
And we fade away.
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
We run from the dawn
Into the night;
All you can see
Is the whites of our eyes.
See me –
And you can come too
And you can come too
And you can come too
And you can come too
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai

About War Boys
Toyah Willcox's "War Boys" stands as a defining track on her 2005 album *Anthem*, showcasing her evolution from new wave icon to a more mature, eclectic artist. The song blends her signature theatrical vocal delivery with a darker, more aggressive production style that contrasts sharply with her earlier pop sensibilities. Released during a period where she actively redefined her public image, the recording reflects her engagement with themes of conflict and identity, delivered through a sound that fuses electronic textures with rock grit. As part of the *Anthem* catalogue, the track exemplifies her ability to maintain artistic integrity while exploring complex emotional landscapes, solidifying her status as a unique voice in post-punk and alternative music history. |
