"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky". . Did-did-did-did-you see the frightened ones?. Did-did-did-did-you hear the falling bombs?. Did-did-did-did-you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter.
Goodbye, cruel world. I'm leaving you today. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Goodbye, all you people. There's nothing you can say. To make me change my mind.
Long live the child and the man. Long live the mother and the lad. The hills behind us and the sea. Reach out to welcome you and me. Valley deep and mountain tall.
As cars go by I cast my mind's eye. Over back packs on roof racks. Beyond the horizon. Where dream makers. Working white plastic processors. Invite the unwary.
Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky. . Did-did-did-did-you see the frightened ones?. Did-did-did-did-you hear the falling bombs?. Did-did-did-did-you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter.
Four minutes and counting.. O.K.. They pressed the button, Jim.. They pressed the button Billy, what button?. The big red one.. You mean THE button?. Goodbye, Jim..
Brezhnev took Afghanistan. And Begin took Beirut. Galtieri took the Union Jack. . And Maggie over lunch one day. Took a cruiser with all hands. Apparently to make him give it back.
Rock a bye baby. On the tree top. When the wind blows. The cradle will rock. Oooh babe, hate to see you fall that way. Better speak to the powers that be today.
For the first time today. I feel it's really over. You were my everyday excuse. For playing deaf, dumb and blind. And who'd have ever thought. This was how it would end for you and me.
For the first time today. I held her naked body next to mine. In this hotel overlooking the Rhine. I made her mine. Ooh babe...ooh babe. Come with me and stay with me.
If all the food. The warsmen ate was sent around the world. No one would have to work. A single day. . If all the money. In the banks was left to boy and girl.
When my neurons conspire to direct my thoughts. Away from divorce and competitive sports. Back to the place where all rivers run to the sea. Then I shall be free.
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces. Where we used to talk?. How should I fill the final places?. How should I complete the wall?.
I used to think the world was flat. Rarely threw my hat into the crowd. I felt I had used up my quota of yearning. Used to look in on the children at night.
[Waitress:] "You wanna cup of coffee?". [Customers:] "Heh, Turn that fucking juke box down. You want to turn down that juke box....loud in here". [Waitress:] "I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?.
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces. Where we used to talk?. How should I fill the final places?. How should I complete the wall?.
[Trucker:} "Hey kid, you looking for a lift?. Get on up here. How's it going good buddy?". I nailed ducks to the wall. Kept my heart in dark ruins. I built bungalows over the hills.
