作词 : MacManus | |
What is your destiny? the police woman said....(20% amnesia) | |
The word that she wanted was destination i'm afraid (20% amnesia) | |
This is your future boy, this is your fate (20% amnesia) | |
And you're obsolete and they can't afford to educate you (20% amnesia) | |
In his bedtime boot boy jersey | |
Ringing up some fantasy tart | |
Give me strength or give me mercy | |
Life intimidates art | |
Chorus: | |
Give me strength or give me mercy | |
Don't let me lose heart | |
From rage to anaesthesia | |
Twenty percent amnesia | |
Were you passed out on the sofa (20% amnesia) | |
While justice was bartered by a drunken oaf? (20% amnesia) | |
This is all your glorious country thinks of your life (20% amnesia) | |
Stripped jack naked with a stanley knife (20% amnesia) | |
So the german queen went home again | |
But she couldn't find forgiveness | |
They made a fist of her hand of friendship | |
But it's only business | |
Chorus | |
The wine you drink has never seen a grape | |
And now your sci-fi suit has lost its shape | |
But its a dangerous game that comedy plays | |
Sometimes it tells you the truth, sometimes it delays it | |
Think back, think back if you still can | |
When the trumpet sounded and the world began | |
Somebody said 'we must have won' | |
So they started burying the boogeyman | |
Mister gorbachov came cap in hand (20% amnesia) | |
From a bankrupt land to a bankrupt land (20% amnesia) | |
Mister gorbachov and some other fella (20% amnesia) | |
Were taken to a show called 'cinderella' (20% amnesia) | |
It wasn't an accident, it wasn't a mystery (20% amnesia) | |
It was calculated and the rest is history (20% amnesia) | |
You don't have to listen to me | |
That's the triumph of free will | |
When there are promises to break | |
And dreams to kill | |
Chorus |
