BATTLEFIELD
© words and music by Nick Lowe and Paul Carrack
(verse 1)
I live on a battlefield
Surrounding by the ruins of the love we built
And them destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I'm dazed, seeing double
And I'm truly mystified
(chorus)
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
(verse 2)
I live on a battlefield
Though one where not one
Single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horryfying
Sweet memories
Of a bygone situation
Lie shattered, torn and battered
And scattered all around
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
Everything that can, has gone wrong
It's gonna take spine to carry on
Like a drownin' man I’m coming up for air
I'm looking for another survivor
I can't see one anywhere
(repeat chorus)
