Tom Robinson - War Baby songtekst

Je score:

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
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... etc. 

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 

Co 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... etc.
