Reason 41 (live Kbfh) Lyrics - The Alarm

"OK This is a song called reason 41. 

One two three four" 

Well I used to wonder why that 

When it's black there is no white 

And why that when it's day 

There is never any night 

I got talking to a soldier and he tried to set things right 

He said, "If you want peace them you will always have to fight" 

Hey 

I went searching in the desert 

Where it just began to rain 

And I met up with this drunken bum who said he'd "lost his name" 

He said, "I put it in this bottle and it drifted out to sea". 

I said, "there is no water here" and he walked away from me 

So then I asked for help from a very clever man 

He kept looking down at his figures 

He was a very busy man 

I told him what the problem was He said, "that's sad. I'd like to help you boy but there is nothing I can add" 

"Guitar" 

Now my throat was getting dry And I was feeling kinda rough 

But I just kept on searching 'till that I'd had enough 

I came across a doctor he said, "his cure was the best" 

He diagnosed my troubles, but I didn't get no rest 

"One more time" 

Now I was really kind of puzzed 

By the things that had been said 

And all the people that I've mentioned started spinning round my head 

I gave it up for lost and it suddenly was clear 

The only reason you are there is 'cos I'm over here 

Hey!
