Right Nina if your on this forum right now you will know this song, if off what I feel is one of the great CD's of the late 80's, it's kind of how I feel in a way a deep song and a dam good album so who's this then kids??.


Wasted, Ive never been so wasted
Ive never been this far out before

Perimeter walk
Theres a presence here
I feel could have been ancient, I could have been mystical

Theres a presence
A childhood, my childhood
My childhood, childhood
A misplaced childhood
My childhood, a misplaced childhood
Give it back to me, give it back to me
A childhood, that childhood, that childhood,
that childhood, that childhood
Oh please give it back to me

V/Threshold

I saw a war widow in a launderette
Washing the memories from her husbands clothes
She had medals pinned to a threadbare greatcoat
A lump in her throat with cemetery eyes

I see convoys curbcrawling west german autobahns
Trying to pick up a war
Theyre going to even the score
Oh... I cant take any more
I see black flags on factories
Soup ladies poised on the lips of the poor
I see children with vacant stares, destined for rape in the alleyways
Does anybody care, I cant take any more!
Should we say goodbye?
Hey

I see priests, politicians?
The heroes in black plastic body-bags under nations flags
I see children pleading with outstretched hands,
drenched in napalm, this is no vietnam

I cant take any more, should we say goodbye
How can we justify?
They call us civilised!

    Hi Mel,
    Is it Marillion? Don't know the track, just remember a friend playing Marillion all the time and it rang a bell.

    'grá agus solas'
    'Love and Light' translated from Irish. X
