Joe Jackson
Forty Years

On the tenth anniversary of the end of World War Two

Here in Berlin, people line up to get in
To wait for the end, living in glorious sin
They've looked around and now there is no looking back
To when rivers ran red, now it's the sky that grows black
Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth
We light a match, but what is that little flame worth

Once allies danced and sang
But it was forty years ago

Here in D.C., they talk about 'Euro-disease'
And how the French are always so damn hard to please
Motions are passed in Brussels but no one agrees
And no one walks tall, but no one gets down on their knees

Once allies laughed and drank
But it was forty years ago

Where I come from, they don't like Americans much
They think they're so loud, so tasteless and so out of touch
Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers
Self-satisfied, awaiting the next forty years

Once allies cried and cheered
But it was forty years ago


Mirror lyrics:

But it was forty years ago
Once allies cried and cheered

Self-satisfied, awaiting the next forty years
Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers
They think they're so loud, so tasteless and so out of touch
Where I come from, they don't like Americans much

But it was forty years ago
Once allies laughed and drank

And no one walks tall, but no one gets down on their knees
Motions are passed in Brussels but no one agrees
And how the French are always so damn hard to please
Here in D.C., they talk about 'Euro-disease'

But it was forty years ago
Once allies danced and sang

We light a match, but what is that little flame worth
Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth
To when rivers ran red, now it's the sky that grows black
They've looked around and now there is no looking back
To wait for the end, living in glorious sin
Here in Berlin, people line up to get in

On the tenth anniversary of the end of World War Two
