Short Memories - Graham Parker[00:00:00]

Written by：Graham Park[00:00:01]

They took their kids in their teenage years[00:00:12]

Fitted them out with combat gear[00:00:15]

Filled their hearts with mortal fear and sent them away[00:00:17]

Some came home their pants in creases[00:00:22]

Some came home in bits and pieces[00:00:25]

The president made a lot of speeches[00:00:27]

And went fishing for the day[00:00:30]

'Cause they have short memories[00:00:33]

They forget it all so quickly[00:00:35]

They have short memories now it's gone[00:00:38]

They have short memories[00:00:43]

It disappears just like quick silver[00:00:45]

They have short memories now it's gone[00:00:48]

My daddy was in nicosea[00:00:57]

Egypt and north korea[00:01:00]

He came back to a good career shovelling coal[00:01:02]

I was just the village lout I never got my finger out[00:01:07]

I never wanted for anything still[00:01:12]

I broke and entered and stole[00:01:15]

'Cause they have short memories[00:01:18]

They forget it all so quickly[00:01:20]

They have short memories now it's gone[00:01:23]

We have short memories[00:01:28]

It disappears before you know it[00:01:30]

We have short memories now it's gone[00:01:33]

At you can't stop a train or catch the rain drops[00:01:39]

I ask they come[00:01:43]

Falling[00:01:45]

Sure there'll be another war[00:01:50]

Sure as sure the call up will come[00:01:52]

Calling[00:01:55]

Ah they took their kids in their teenage years[00:02:02]

Gave them a god that they could fear[00:02:05]

Said they could kill but not drink beer[00:02:07]

And sent them away[00:02:10]

Some came back in a body bag[00:02:13]

Some came back wrapped in a flag[00:02:15]

And on each toe there hung a tag saying[00:02:18]

There'll be more someday[00:02:20]

'Cause they have short memories[00:02:23]

They forget it all so quickly[00:02:25]

They have short memories[00:02:28]

Now it's now it's gone[00:02:30]

They have short memories[00:02:33]

It disappears just like quick silver[00:02:35]

They have short memories now it's gone[00:02:38]

Now it's gone[00:02:43]

Now it's gone[00:02:45]

It's gone[00:02:48]

It's gone[00:02:51]
