[00:27.40] |
Standing at the window |
[00:30.79] |
A farmer's wife in Oxford shire |
[00:35.38] |
Glances at the clock; it's nearly time for tea |
[00:38.94] |
She doesn't see |
[00:40.41] |
The phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings |
[00:44.30] |
Doesn't hear the engine sing |
[00:46.73] |
But in the cockpit's techno glow |
[00:50.78] |
Behind the Ray Ban? shine |
[00:54.84] |
The kid from Cleveland |
[00:58.50] |
In the comfort of routine |
[00:59.68] |
Scans his dials and smiles |
[01:03.76] |
Secure in the beauty of military life |
[01:10.77] |
There is no right or wrong |
[01:17.53] |
Only tin cans and cordite and white cliffs |
[01:21.31] |
And blue skies and flight flight flight |
[01:30.78] |
The beauty of military life |
[01:34.92] |
No questions only orders and flight, only flight |
[01:47.28] |
What a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream |
[01:50.38] |
The eternal child leafs through his war magazine |
[01:54.90] |
And his kind Uncle Sam feeds ten trillion in change |
[01:59.43] |
Into the total entertainment combat video game |
[02:04.17] |
And up here in the stands |
[02:06.54] |
The fans are going wild |
[02:08.46] |
The cheerleaders flip |
[02:10.52] |
When you wiggle your hip |
[02:12.50] |
And we all like the bit when you take |
[02:15.36] |
The jeans from the refrigerator and |
[02:17.34] |
Then the bad guy gets hit |
[02:19.24] |
And were you struck by the satisfying way |
[02:23.86] |
The swimsuit sticks to her skin |
[02:25.72] |
Like BB gun days |
[02:28.16] |
When knives pierce autumn leaves |
[02:30.31] |
But that's okay see the children bleed |
[02:32.86] |
It'll look great on the TV |
[02:49.30] |
And in Tripoli another ordinary wife |
[02:59.56] |
Stares at the dripping her old man hadn't |
[03:03.81] |
Time to fix |
[03:04.88] |
Too busy mixing politics and rhythm |
[03:07.30] |
In the street below |
