Imperial bodybags, coming home in dribs and drabs
Life is numbers, with doggy tags
Filled with holes and coming back
So come on up the sky?
can't make out this line very well
Never had a chance to wave goodbye
Thrown away and unhappy
Driven by hypocracy
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Like a lover who has lost her faith
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Fades away
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in home-made flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in home-made flags
And here we love the kids
We're still human like everyone else
I have no idea what this line is at all
Stuck in school
Always willing to stick by the rules
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Like a lover who has lost her faith
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Fades away
Fades away
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in homemade flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in homemade flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in homemade flags

Children wrapped in homemade flags
Life is numbers, with doggy tags

So come on up the sky?
can't make out this line very well
Never had a chance to wave goodbye
Thrown away and unhappy
Driven by hypocracy
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Like a lover who has lost her faith
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Fades away

Non so se la principale compagnia aerea britannica sa di proporre, tra gli album scelti per intrattenere i passeggeri, una canzone che racconta una semplice e tristissima verità su come tornano a casa, su altri aerei, giovani avvolti in inutili bandiere. Ho poi letto su "The Guardian" di un giovane soldato inglese morto a diciott'anni in un incidente in Afghanistan il primo giorno di servizio. Spero che al signor Blair, durante il prossimo viaggio per andare a trovare il suo amico Bush, capiti di ascoltare questa canzone. Ma probabilmente non ci farebbe caso oppure sceglierebbe di ascoltare Norah Jones (con tutto il rispetto per Norah Jones).
