War (2000)
Lights out on the street tonight
Walking alone in the fading light
Vague sounds of a distant band
The desperate howls of a one night stand
Thin smile and clenching fist
Scoping tags like sniffing piss
Stay in control as the tension mounts
Magnetic pull from north to south
And I wish I had the resolution
skills to walk away
It never happens quite that way
Do you want to start a war?
Base thump on the stereo
Tongue tied and I want to know
Cut and dried, I'm all cut up
Sting like amphetamines and ready to go
And I wish I had the resolution
skills to walk away
It never happens quite that way
Do you want to start a war?
Do you want to stand up and keep your head held high?
Can you place yourself on the other side?
Do you remember what you're fighting for?
Do you really want to start a war?
Always searching for some answers or some cigarettes
I'd be happy either way.
Do you want to start a war?
Natives of intriguing San Francisco
Say its there, there hearts will always be
But surely they can’t care if i’m more excited
About her sister city
Far across the sea
My city of Sydney
I miss the warmth of you
Miss the heart of your people
That little church steeple
In Woolloomooloo
Sail boats white polka dotting
The blue of the bay
As they glide on their way
Through a clear afternoon
Night folks thirsting for fun
Meeting most everyone
At the Cross
As they toss in their mеrry balloon
My city of Sydney
I miss your glow at dark
Miss the Opera Housе lights
From the Bridge
And the night
In a quiet Hyde Park
Though i’m thousands of miles
From your surfers and smiles
Of your laugh loving children at play
My warm city of Sydney
I’ve never been away
I sent away
I sent away
There's such a perfect couple
Loving wife and perfect family
It's such a shame no one ever
Thought of a question that they'd gather take
All the stuff that comes straight down
??? that i can take
There's love and there's abstraction
Someone you'd never see
There was double cash transaction
Similarities of you human ???
All the stuff that comes straight down here with me
I sent away, for the love of my life
I sent away, oh yeeahh
I sent away, for the love of my life
I sent away, oh yeeah
I sent away
I sent away
Save a child's life and intima???
For the six weeks, for delivery
Giving her life, she would have to hide
A full refund if you're not satisfied
All the stuff that comes straight down here with me
I sent away, for the love of my life
I sent away, oh yeeahh
I sent away, for the love of my life
I sent away, oh yeeah
I sent away
I sent away
I say I love you, I need you, you make me complete
