For all our friends and neighbours in the Middle East...
War Cry [Dave Jeanes]
Many were the nights of blind confusion
Many were the planes that flew
Many was the cry to “Action Stations!”
Many were the camera crews
The whole world started shaking
The whole thing sounds insane
The whole world started shaking, baby
Let’s do it again!
Many were the troubled TV presenters
Many was the Liberal voice
Many were the Government Announcers
Power was the only choice
The whole world started shaking
The whole thing sounds insane
The whole world started shaking, baby
Let’s do it again!
Many were the times that I could see them
Many were the “Scud Alarms!”
Many were the lost Tornadoes
Many was the call to arms
The whole world started shaking
The whole thing sounds insane
The whole world started shaking, baby
Let’s do it again!
Many were the men that died in misery
Women and children too
Now when it comes to writing history
What d’you think we ought to do?
The whole world started shaking
The whole thing sounds insane
The whole world started shaking, baby
Let’s do it again!
Wish we could change it but I just don’t see how
Wish we could write on the wall
I get the feeling that it’s all too late now
I can’t see nothing at all
The whole world…
Hiding all their feelings
Settling and congealing
I can’t see nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing
Many were the fires that rose to Heaven
Many were the soldiers too
Many were the brave commanders
Many were the boys that flew
The whole world started shaking
The whole thing sounds insane
The whole world started shaking, baby
Let’s do it again!
Many were the lessons learned those evenings
Many were the charges due
Many are the things best left forgotten
Things we have to live with too
The whole world started shaking
The whole thing sounds insane
The whole world started shaking, baby
Let’s do it again!
