Peter said to Paul, "You know, all those words we wrote
Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go
But now talking to God is Laurel begging Hardy for a gun
I got a girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done"
Paul said to Peter, "You got to rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
"But I got a girl in the war, Paul, the only thing I know to do
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through"
Because the keys to the kingdom got lost inside the kingdom
And the angels fly around in there, but we can’t see them
I got a girl in the war, Paul, I know that they can hear me yell
If they can’t find a way to help her, they can go to hell
If they can’t find a way to help her, they can go to hell"
Paul said to Peter, "You got to rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
"But I got a girl in the war, Paul, her eyes are like champagne
They sparkle, bubble over and, in the morning, all you got is rain
They sparkle, bubble over and, in the morning, all you got is rain
They sparkle, bubble over and, in the morning, all you got is rain"

Once in a Blue Moon

My heart was broken by someone
Sweeter than a rose
That then opens and blossoms
Only to close
Sweet perfume
Once in a blue moon
And then it fades when you hold it
Underneath your nose
Chorus:
Can anyone direct me
To that heartbreak infirmary?
Is there such a place
For this poor casualty?
Heart broken by someone
Sweeter than a rose
That opens
Only to close
Making friendships when the war ended
Many years ago
Travelled the road with a work shy
Roving Romeo
When they sang those songs of love
I never understood
A generation sweeter than a rose
Chorus
Does it show what happens to me?
Is it so? Can everyone see?
Sentimentality’s creeping all over me
I’ve let myself go
Chorus
