International Lyrics

Artist: OMD
Album: Dazzle Ships

The youth and the Imperialist Tribune was also addressed by a young girl
from Nicaragua whose hands had been cut off at the wrists by the former
Samosa guards.
Veronica Merco, of the German Federal Republic, had this to say:

Aber ich habe eine Ausbildung gemacht
ak Industrie Kaufmann und... ??

Im a shop assistant at the... ??
and I must say Im a shop assistant by profession,
but it is difficult for.... ??

Now and then a little thing gets by.
Now and then well cry.

Like a fall in a war, like a mothers open arms.
Like a pawn in a game, hard to take.
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and pray.

All the time we are gone, theres no reason, theres no way.
Oh, the soul is the one so they say.
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and play.

She never thought hed be this way.
Her arms aloft, she holds.
But now its all a memory.
And its gone...

"The youth and the Imperialist Tribune" should read "The Youth Anti-Imperialist Tribune"

And the German should read: "Also, ich habe eine Ausbildung gemacht als Industriekaufmann..."

Cheers!
