I Live on a Battlefield - Nick Lowe

I live on a battlefield

Surrounded by the ruins of the love we built

And then destroyed between us

The smoke has cleared

As I stumble through the rubble

I’m dazed, seeing double

And I’m truly mystified

My new home is a shell hole filled

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

All around there is desolation

And scenes of devastation

Of a love been torn apart

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield

The one where not one single drop of blood has spilled

Is no less horrifying

Sweet memories, memories

Of a bygone situation

Now shattered lord and battered

Lie scattered all around

My new home is a shell hole filled

With tears and muddy water

Yes and bits of broken heart

All around there is desolation

And scenes of devastation

Of a love been torn apart

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield

Everything that can has gone wrong

(I live on a battlefield)

It’s gonna take spine to carry on

(I live on a battlefield)

Like a drowning man coming up for air

(I live on a battlefield)

I’m looking for another survivor

But I can’t see one anywhere

My new home is filled with muddy water

All around there’s bits of broken heart

My world is one of desolation

And scenes of devastation

There is no consolation

For a love been torn apart

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield, battlefield

I live on a battlefield
