The song is about uranium mining. Lyrics I remember are: Take a lion from the mountain Lock him in a cage He'll fight you to surrender (? /for survival?)/In another age (/a nuclear age??) (chor) See our mountains falling down See our mountains, just a dumping ground. |

THERE'S A DRAGON
There's a dragon in a motor car,
There's a dragon in a chimney stack, |

02 Apr 03 - 10:09 AM (#924470) Subject: Lyr Add: LION OF THE MOUNTAIN (Barry Moore) From: Jim Dixon Lyrics copied from http://home.knuut.de/e_r_bergholz/lbloom/lyrics/lionofthemountain.htm LION OF THE MOUNTAIN (Barry Moore) There's a creature on the mountain lived in perfect peace, Been there in his slumber through all the centuries. Happy in the mountain, peaceful left alone, Lately he's been hunted, taken from his home. Man brought him to the city, locked him in a hole, In this evil captivation, he burned with anger in his soul. Take a lion from the mountain, lock him in a cage, He'll fight you with a vengeance in another age. See our waters laden down, See our waters, just a dumping ground. This creature in the city grows more angry in his pain. He burns with deadly hatred. He must be moved again. There are ships out on the ocean sailing through the night Bearing cargo of destruction sailing slowly. Now the creature of the mountain waits in anger in the sea. He will poison all around him. He'll punish you and me. Once he was so peaceful. Now he's full of hate. He was taken from the mountain. He longs to seal our fate. [From the single "Deadly Potions" © 1983 Ruby Records 1. Deadly Potions 2. Lion of the Mountain Recorded at Trend Studios, Lad Lane, Dublin In aid of the Campaign against Nuclear Waste Dumping Produced by Declan Sinnott] |

Buttoday when I saw the song listed in a discography, I immediately thought of the Barry Moore song. thanks, countess |
