Poetry In Motion

James Reyne


Look at you look at you
Standing at the checkpoint
It must be some crisis
Those freedom fighters
They must be laughing
Jesus has it come to this
You must of given them a whole lot of money
For them to let you hang around
Jumped up peace - nik
Shivering in Dubrovnik
Better put your white flag back in the ground

Chorus ~
This is poetry
This is poetry
This is poetry in motion

Beautiful people
They DIG the band
You're sittin' pretty
In a bombed out city
With a long cool drink in your hand
You must be shootin' up
Some mercenary scenery
For them to give you a sign
Now you're giving three cheers
Ringing in the New Year's
Here's to bottoms up
For Auld Lang Syne

Chorus ~ x 4
