Lyrics

Sometimes the nights seem endless
and morning is an eternity away
The fires in my brain die slowly
as I wait to start another day
I moved here as a young man
It was clean and new and safe
And I know it's changed now
but I still love this place
Chorus
I hear rumours, I hear scandal,
I hear truth and I hear lies
but it's nothing I can't handle
it's the council I despise
I've fought the Nazis at Milano
I was there when Berlin fell
And I hope that in the next life
I'll see this lot go to hell
I have to live with memories
that would drive those bastards mad
They talk about the greater good
more like the greater bad
