NUMBER 1 ON NEIL YOUNG'S WEB CHART WITH "TAKE YOUR WAR AND STICK IT UP YOUR ARSE" To all those who have been voting/listening - a great big thank you. We are hoping to use this to launch a publicity campaign in the UK media. Let's also not forget that, more important than songs going up charts, we can get this war ended as soon as possible. Sollox and The Spooners have been making music for a long time, but the exposure that the www can give them has inspired them to new efforts. The band are . . .

Story behind the song
Not ALL battles are in the combat zoone. Some of them are on the home front.
Lyrics
We’ve declared war in our hearts Who knows why the fighting starts Battle plans drawn on maps and on charts Soldiers in wars have been known To lay down guns and sing in the snow Making friends out of the foe Can we have a ceasefire too? The chance of victory may seem slender I don't want your white flag of surrender Use your arms be warm and tender (love me tender?) Can we have a ceasefire too? Lying low from another attack Down in fox-holes avoiding the flak Always on guard, watching your back Can we have a ceasefire too? Lay down our guns We’ve got tonight Hold out your arms No need to fight Let’s have a truce just for the night Can we have a ceasefire too? All this conflict, keeping the score How will it end win, lose or draw? They say that all is fair in love and in war I don’t believe that it’s true Can we have a ceasefire too? Can we have a ceasefire too?
