Beirut Moon

Allt kommer tillbaks igen. Una y otra y otra vez. Så jävla bra låt, som jag har i huvudet lite allt som oftast. Stiff Little Fingers, Libanon första gången det begav sig.. (brittisk journalist hållen gisslan under 5 år, ingen brydde sig, bla bla bla). Och träffade Kath efter (hennes -jag gör ju ingenting!:-) jobb, och samma sak om igen: skitjobb, skitmänniskor, skitbusiness, skitalltalltallt. Och jag känner igen allt. Jag var så jäkla glad att jag inte var inblandad i det; att jag sluppit ut; samma mskor rör sig i spåren, samma grejer händer om igen, men nu är iaf jag inte mitt inne i det. Jobbigt nog sitta o höra på det, o bara må dåligt för deras skull (jag vet hur det funkar!); bli påminnen om saker jag inte vill bli påmind om, men så jäkla glad jag slipper. Leve vara utfattig student!

BEIRUT MOON
Jake Burns

"We'd like to help you." the consul said
"But there's nothing we can do
Well, you knew the risks when you took the job
After all you're not a fool
So, don't call me, don't call me
I just can't bend the rules
Keep your chin up, I know it's tough
Somehow you'll get through."
It seems the Americans bargain and rescue
But if you get caught you're left to rot
Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

(Chorus:)
Under a Beirut Moon
Sorry son, there's nothing we can do
Under a Beirut Moon
Different rules, we haven't got a clue

"We can't be seen to be giving in
To these terrorists you see
If we talk with them it would mean the end
Of all that we hold dear
So don't call me, don't call me
I'm doing all I can
Although it seems from where you sit
I don't give a damn."
Back home they'll remember you in papers, on TV
Because when you're caught you're left to rot
Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

(Chorus)

And though you dream of being free
There's not much hope that I can see
Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

Now just today on the news I saw
A hostage walking free
He talked of how it came about
He gained his liberty
He said, don't give up, don't give up
Argue, beg and plead
Keep the pressure up, don't let it drop
Somehow you'll get free
He said the Americans would bargain and rescue
But when Brits get caught they're left to rot
Under a Beirut, under the Beirut Moon
