New Model Army - You Weren't There Lyrics
Well, you say it's such a small, small worldflying Club Class back from the far-eastcurled up safe and warm in the big chairyou were drifting through the skies of anywhereGet the courtesy car to the Sheratonthere's live on-the-spot reports on the CNN between the ad-breaksso you think you know what's going on - but you don'tbecause you weren't in Belfast, no you weren't thereand no you weren't in Waco, no you weren't thereand you weren't in Kosovo, you weren't thereand you weren't in my head so you don't know how it feltwalking arm in arm with crowds to the squareand the banners waving and the sun glintingAll this information swims round and roundlike a shoal of fish in a tank going nowhereUp and down between the glass wallsYou're so safe in the knowledge they're impenetrableand you look out at the world and see nothing at allso go back to sleep and you'll be woken when the time comesand you'll never know just what hit you or where it came frombecause you weren't in Bradford, no you weren't thereand you weren't on the hill, no you weren't thereand you weren't with us so you never sawjust what happened when the television crews came knocking on the doorhow the people told them all to go to Hell,smashed the cameras and sent them awayThere were sirens going off and policemen coming inand all that you love was being swept awayin the rush of a black tide all done in your nameand you'll never know just what happened thereor how it feels - just how it feels . . .
