On a sunny afternoon
July 2011, Messini
The taxman's taken all my dole
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

To hear the bells of freedom chime
To hell with your double standard
We comin' rougher every time

Like memories seem to fade
No colour left but black and white
And soon will all turn gray

And the hangman pulled the rope
And ne'er a word I spoke

When the wars are finally over and the damage has been done
And the mushroom cloud has darkened out the lifeblood of the sun
There will be no fucking countries, there will be no fucking one
When the wars are finally over and the damage has been done

Obligatory III
May 2011, Istanbul
When the guns have all been fired and the ammunition's gone
And the corpses lie in bloody pools to wait the break of dawn

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand
Wailing away on the wall on the strand
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned
