Living Through Another Cuba - XTC

Living through another Cuba

It’s 1961 again and we are piggy in the middle

Living through another Cuba

While war is polishing his drum and peace plays second fiddle

Living through another Cuba

Russia and America are at each other’s throats but don’t you cry

Living through another Cuba

Just on your knees and pray and while you’re down there, kiss your arse goodbye

Living through another Cuba

We’re the bulldog on the fence while others play their tennis overhead

Living through another Cuba

It’s hardly love all and somebody might wind up red or dead

Living through another Cuba

Pour some oil on the water quick, it doesn’t really matter where from

Living through another Cuba

He love me, he loves me not, he’s pulling fins from an atom bomb

Living through another Cuba

This phenomenon happens every 20 years or so

Living through another Cuba

If they’re not careful, your watch won’t be the only thing with a radioactive

glow

Living through another Cuba

I’ll stick my fingers in my ears and hope they make it up before too late

Living through another Cuba

If we get through this lot alright, they’re due for replay, 1998
