Lyrics for 'Forty Years' by 'Joe Jackson'
(on The 10th Anniversary Of The End Of World War Ii)
Here In Berlin - People Line Up To Get In
To Wait For The End - Living In Glorious Sin
They've Looked Around - And Now There Is No Looking Back
To When Rivers Ran Red - Now It's The Sky That Grows Black
Shadows Are Cast As Two Giants Roam Over The Earth
We Light A Match - But What Is That Little Flame Worth
Once Allies Danced And Sang
But It Was Forty Years Ago
Here In D.c. - They Talk About 'euro-disease'
And How The French Are Always So Damn Hard To Please
Otions Are Passed In Brussels But No One Agrees
And No One Walks Tall - But No-one Gets Down On Their Knees
Once Allies Laughed And Drank
But It Was Forty Years Ago
Where I Come From
They Don't Like Americans Much
They Think They're So Loud, So Tasteless, And So Out Of Touch
Stiff Upper Lips Are Curled Into Permanent Sneers
Self-satisfied
Awaiting The Next Forty Years
Once Allies Cried And Cheered
But It Was Forty Years Ago
