COLD WAR
Lyrics: Gary Rathbone

1. Midnight, at the kitchen table
We sit unsure, completely disabled
And the language of love’s no real-politik
It’s just washed up in the sink

2. Once we might have run for the glory
Snapped roses right out the air
But we found no magic words - just the same old story
I’d heard before I found myself there…

Chorus
In this cold war…
Cold war between you and me
It’s a cold war here at home
Since I found myself - living with you on my own

3. You can colour me crazy, you can colour me straight
But the colour I know best is blue
It’s on the TV screens and newspaper tragedies
And now I can see it in you.

4. Words on the wall could be the writing of angels
We could follow those words to god knows where
To the ends of the earth - the commencement of fables
Or the grey middle-ground of fatal despair

Chorus repeat

Instrumental

Bridge
She closed her eyes and counted to 10
I slipped the lock on the door and then…
Walked away without looking back to pretend
It was anything else but a…

Chorus repeat x 2
