| Only the very young | |
| And the very beautiful | |
| Can be so aloof | |
| Hanging out with the boys | |
| All swagger and poise | |
| I don't even care | |
| What other people are there | |
| I just stare and stare and stare | |
| I see your shadow in the swimming pool | |
| I see your face in the shaving mirror | |
| Time and time and time again | |
| I follow your footsteps | |
| So quietly up the backstairs | |
| And I hope and I pray | |
| You're never going to find me there | |
| Smooth skin and tenderness | |
| Long ago on a dark night | |
| Wish I could see you once again | |
| Just to remember it was true | |
| I want to be still beside you | |
| Quiet and still beside you | |
| Listening to your breathing | |
| And feeling your warmth again | |
| War baby - you were a | |
| War baby - this means | |
| War baby - I'm scared, so scared | |
| Of whatever it is | |
| You keep putting me through | |
| I don't think I could stand | |
| Another ten years of this fighting | |
| All this stabbing and wounding | |
| Only getting my own back | |
| I don't want to batter you | |
| To your feet and knees and elbows | |
| When I'm kneeling like a candle | |
| At the foot of my own bed | |
| Corresponding disasters | |
| Every night on the TV | |
| Sickening reality keeps | |
| Gripping me in its guts | |
| All my friends talk and joke | |
| And laugh about Armageddon | |
| But like a nightmare it's still | |
| Waiting there at | |
| The end of every day | |
| War baby - you were a | |
| War baby - this means | |
| War baby - I'm scared, so scared | |
| Of whatever it is you keep putting me through | |
| I don't think I could stand another | |
| Ten years of this fighting | |
| All this stabbing and wounding | |
| Only getting my own back | |
| But later that same evening | |
| We were out in the car talking | |
| When I suddenly wondered who the hell | |
| It was we were trying to fool | |
| Cause you were the | |
| First one that I ever wanted | |
| And it's you I come home to | |
| At the end of every day | |
| Like a mother-sucking baby | |
| Demanding and so helpless | |
| A little old balding man | |
| All wrinkles and bulging eyes | |
| War baby - you were a | |
| War baby - well this means | |
| War baby - I'm scared, so scared | |
| Of whatever it is you keep putting me through |
