The Year of Living Dangerously Lyrics by Ricky Warwick

When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang the Blues / Hearts on Trees)

2016

[Verse 1]
Silhouettes and minorettes
A mourning called a prayer
Anger in a market place
Confusion over there
Itchin’ in your fingers
Steam train in your chest
Photo in your pocket
Dog tags on your breast
Should you take two steps forward
Should you take one step back
Who’s the friend that’s screaming at you
Who’s the stranger in the black
For jesus sake stop sweating son
For allah's sake think twice
There’s no one winning this time
There’s no luck in this dice
[Chorus]
Somewhere in another land
A glass falls to the floor
Somewhere in another land
A knock comes to the door
[Verse 2]
It’s playing on every channel
An epic after school
Two towers into nothing
And we the bigger fools
We're not in Kansas Toto
The writings on the wall
They're moving all their children out
They're not like you at all
[Chorus]
Somewhere in another land
A glass falls to the floor
Somewhere in another land
A knock comes to the door
Somewhere in another land
You can't take much more
[Verse 3]
20 happy birthdays
A thousand summer suns
Friends and lovers first times
I never play with guns
Home along the seafront
And off to fight the war
Home along the crowd filled street
Home to left no more
[Chorus]
Somewhere in another land
A glass falls to the floor
Somewhere in another land
A knock comes to the door
Somewhere in another land
You can take much more
[Verse 4]
Rows of plastic soldiers
Rows of fighting games
Rows of faded photographs
Rows of stolen names
There’s a raven on the monument
Near the cannon in the park
There’s a bench that we all sat on
Drinking cider after dark
