About Rebel Run

"Rebel Run" is the thirteenth UK single by the band Toyah, fronted by Toyah Willcox, and was released in September 1983, over a year after the band's previous single. The single reached number 24 on the UK Singles Chart, Spending a total of 5 weeks on the chart. It became 'Toyah's' seventh and last top 30 hit as a band before Toyah went solo. The track was taken from the fifth full length Toyah studio album, Love Is the Law, which failed to match the success of its predecessors. The 12" single featured an additional b-side, and both of these bonus tracks appeared on the 2005 reissue of Love Is the Law, and the compilation album The Safari Singles Collection Part 2: 1981-1983, released the same year. The video for Rebel Run is featured as a bonus video on the Toyah DVD 'Wild Essence- TOYAH Live in the 21st century' Toyah appeared on several television programmes to promote Rebel Run, including an outdoor performance filmed at Alton Towers for the TV show Hold Tight, when the band also performed a version of their 1980 single "Ieya". more »

(Words Willcox / Music Darlow)
Praying to the silent man
A new day dawns
Behind acetylene tanks
A dog's lament
Wakes the new age
But falls in splintered fragments
Around his cage
Like everyone said there'd be
So much more to nineteen eighty-four
Rebel run
Don't shoot your gun
Rebel run
Run run run
Now get down
And stay down
You've gotta learn
To kiss the ground
You see a city
Well watch it fall
We're the hobos
Of planet patrol
Lean machines
Colliding
Out of control
Rebel run
Don't shoot your gun
Rebel run
Run run run
Now get down
And stay down
You've gotta learn
To kiss the ground
You've gotta get away
You've gotta get away
Rebel
You've gotta get away
You've gotta stay away...
It's just a power game
It's just a power game
Rebel
You've gotta get away
You've gotta stay away
