LIVING THROUGH ANOTHER CUBA

Living through another Cuba
It's 1961 again and we are piggy in the middle
While war is polishing his drum and peace
Plays second fiddle

Russia and America are at each other's throats
But don't you cry
Just on your knees and pray, and while you're
Down there, kiss your arse goodbye

We're the bulldog on the fence
While others play their tennis overbead
It's hardly love and someboyd might
Wind up red or dead
Pour some oil on the water quick
It doesn't really matter where from
He loves me, he loves me not
He's pulling fins from an atom bomb

This phenomenon happens every 20 years or so
If they're not careful your watch won't be the
Only thing with a radioactive glow
I'll stick my fingers in my ears
And hope they make it up before too late
If we get through this lot alright
Their due for replay, 1998
(Andy Partridge)
