• The title was taken from Derek's mishearing of the phrase "the sun never sets on the British empire."
• This is another Tap concept album, this time relating stories from Old English mythology.
• “The Sun Never Sweats" was re-recorded for BREAK LIKE THE WIND, while "Devil Take The Hindmost" and "Nocturnal Mission" appeared in live form on JAP HABIT.
• This album's very different version of "Stonehenge" was the version that became a massive hit, and a long-standing fan favorite.

THE SUN NEVER SWEATS
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)

Bolder than the pirates who used to rule the sea
Braver than the natives, who never heard of tea
They never knew what hit them, said the Spaniards later on
Empire!
It was here and now it's gone

Even the biggest elephant never forgets
And the sun never sweats
No, the sun never sweats

You were younger than a virgin, older than the sea
You were angel, you were devil, and I was all of me
You knew you met your master, when I made you stay at home
Woman!
Whatever made you roam

Even the hardest concrete never quite sets
And the sun never sweats
No, the sun never sweats

Losing is for losers, winners play to win
Always love the sinner, you may even like the sin
The door that used to open has closed without a crack
Woman!
You're like the Empire, and I still want you back

We may be gods or just big marionettes
But the sun never sweats
Life is a gamble and we're all placing our bets
And the sun never sweats
No, the sun never sweats
 
 

STONEHENGE
(Tufnel / St. Hubbins)

In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history
There lived a strange race of people...the Druids.
No one knows who they were, or what they were doing...
But their legacy remains...
Hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge.

Stonehenge, where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge, where a man is a man
And the children dance to the pipes of pan

Stonehenge, tis a magic place
Where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face
Stonehenge, where the virgins lie
And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky

And you my love, won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there, I will show you how

And oh, how they danced, the little children of Stonehenge
Beneath the haunted moon.
For fear that daybreak might come too soon.

And where are they now,  the little people of Stonehenge?
And what would they say to us...
If we were here... tonight?
