歌词

[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
