Banana Republic
Geldof/Briquette
banana republic
septic isle
screaming in the suffering sea
it sound like crying
everywhere I go
everywhere I see
the black and blue uniforms
police and priests
and I wonder do you wonder
while you're sleeping with your whore
that sharing beds with history
is like a-licking running sores
forty shades of green yeah
sixty shades of red
heroes going cheap these days
price; a bullet in the head
chorus;
take your hand and lead you
up a garden path
let me stand aside here
and watch you pass
striking up a soldier's song
I know that tune
it begs too many questions
and answers too
chorus;
the purple and the pinstripe
mutely shake their heads
a silence shrieking volumes
a violence worse than they condemn
stab you in the back yeah
laughing in your face
glad to see the place again
it's a pity nothing's changed
chorus and fade on chorus repeated

Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Screamin' in the sufferin' sea, sounds like cryin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
And I wonder do you wonder while you're sleeping with your whore?
Sharing beds with history is like a-licking runnin' sores
Forty shades of green yeah, sixty shades of red
Heroes going cheap these days, price a bullet in the head
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
Take your hand and lead you up a garden path
Let me stand aside here and watch you pass
Strikin' up a soldier's song, I know that tune
It begs too many questions and answers too
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
The purple and the pinstripe they mutely shake their heads
A silence shriekin' volumes violence worse than they condemn
Stab you in the back yeah laughin' in your face
Glad to see the place again, it's a pity nothing's changed
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like cryin'
Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
