B.U.R.M.A.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know that you're out there Born ready, but on the decline To keep you from my thoughts When we first broke the line Do you remember, like I remember? Lost pursuits of excellence The glory of the crown Lives of imperialists Leave me with aching wrists So no wonder you frown When you're two world wars down [Chorus] So when the dark times come Well, I will sing you a good time song I'm pretending that it's ending But it kills me to act so strong Just to gaze in your eyes Makes all the difference to me [Verse 2] Just be ready my angel Be ready when I call I've been re-reading letters They were moving warm but bitter And I cried right through them all Ooh, ooh The days go so slow Ooh, ooh We'll never get to heaven With the artillery in tow [Chorus] So when the dark times come It might warm your heart to know That I went to the crossroads But the devil never showed They can stick their war I'm leaving now It makes all the difference to me [Bridge] I'm hoping if you know where I am Send your heart in a telegram I'm praying that you know where I am [Verse 3] Be upstairs, ready my angel Be ready when I call And then, my angel I'll be ready too And I will catch you when you fall Do you remember, like I remember All the dirty things you said? Do you remember, like I remember Or was it all in my head? [Chorus] So when the dark times come Well, I will song you a good time song I'm pretending that it's ending But it kills me to act so strong To gaze in your eyes Makes all the difference to me [Outro] So, who's got the clap (clap, clap) Who's got the clap (clap, clap) Give yourself a clap now! So, who's got the clap (clap, clap) Who's got the clap (clap, clap) Give yourself a clap now!
