Cedars Of Lebanon |
| Yesterday I spent asleep |
| Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap |
| Spent the night trying to make a deadline |
| Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline |
| I have your face here in an old Polaroid |
| Tidying the children’s clothes and toys |
| You’re smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge |
| Can’t remember what then we did |
| I haven’t been with a woman, it feels like for years |
| Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears |
| This shitty world sometimes produces a rose |
| The scent of it lingers and then it just goes |
| Return the call to home |
| The worst of us are a long drawn out confession |
| The best of us are geniuses of compression |
| You say you’re not going to leave the truth alone |
| I? |
| m here cos I don’t want to go home |
| Child drinking dirty water from the river bank |
| Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank |
| I’m waiting on the waiter, he’s taking a while to come |
| Watching the sun go down on Lebanon |
| Return the call to home |
| Now I’ve got a head like a lit cigarette |
| Unholy clouds reflecting in a minaret |
| You’re so high above me, higher than everyone |
| Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon? |
| Choose your enemies carefully cos they will define you |
| Make them interesting cos in some ways they will mind you |
| They’re not there in the beginning but when your story ends |
| Gonna last with you longer than your friend |
