The Exploited - Army Life lyrics

It's easy in the confidence of a warm heart

to observe how other lovers criticise

When their turn comes to part They grow uncivilised

Wasn't friendship going to carry us

When love ran out?

Didn't we know What respect was all about?

But now it would seem That's all forgotten

(I didn't want it to end like this)

And I don't even know (I didn't want it to end)

When we lost the way

Oh no no no Not me and you Not we two Oh no-didn't we agree

Parting would be painless

I remember how in the safety of our love

We swore we'd never let that state arise

And if one had had enough We would be civilised

By watching we could avoid The same mistakes

We would tread the soft way out For the other's sake

Can it be possible Is it happening this way

We are the same two people Tearing up in anger Tearing everything in complicated knots

Not caring, not giving, not giving a damn
