The Year Of Living Dangerously - Ricky Warwick

Silhouettes and minorettes

A mourning called a prayer

Anger in a market place

Confusion over there

Itchin' in your fingers

Steam train in your chest

Photo in your pocket

Dog tags on your breast

Should you take two steps forward

Should you take one step back

Who’s the friend that’s screaming at you

Who’s the stranger in the black

For jesus sake stop sweating son

For allah’s sake think twice

There’s no one winning this time

There’s no luck in this dice

Somewhere in another land

A glass falls to the floor

Somewhere in another land

A knock comes to the door

It’s playing on every channel

An epic after school

Two towers into nothing

And we the bigger fools

We’re not in Kansas Toto

The writings on the wall

They’re moving all their children out

They’re not like you at all

Somewhere in another land

A glass falls to the floor

Somewhere in another land

A knock comes to the door

Somewhere in another land

You can’t take much more

20 happy birthdays

A thousand summer suns

Friends and lovers first times

I never play with guns

Home along the seafront

And off to fight the war

Home along the crowd filled street

Home to left no more

Somewhere in another land

A glass falls to the floor

Somewhere in another land

A knock comes to the door

Somewhere in another land

You can take much more

Rows of plastic soldiers

Rows of fighting games

Rows of faded photographs

Rows of stolen names

There’s a raven on the monument

Near the cannon in the park

There’s a bench that we all sat on

Drinking cider after dark
