Battlefield

(paul carrack/nick lowe)



I live on a battlefield

Surrounding by the ruins of a love we built

And them destroyed between us

The smoke has cleared

As i stumble through the rubble

I'm dazed, seeing double

And i'm truly mystified



My new home is a shell-hole filled

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

All around, there is desolation

Scenes of devestation

Of a love been torn apart



I live on a battlefield

Though one where not one

Single drop of blood has spilled

Is no less horryfying

Sweet memories

Of a bygone situation

Lie shattered, torn and battered

And scattered all around



My new home is a shell-hole filled

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

All around, there is desolation

Scenes of devestation

Of a love been torn apart



Everything that can, has gone wrong

It's gonna take spine to carry on

Like a drownin' woman coming up for air

I'm looking for another survivor

I can't see one anywhere



My new home is a shell-hole filled

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

All around, there is desolation

Scenes of devestation

Of a love been torn apart



I live on a battlefield, hey

I live on a battlefield, hey

Can't go on, baby

Tears and muddy water

Scattered all around me, babe

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield
