XTC - Living Through Another Cuba lyrics

Living through another Cuba
It's 1961 again and we are
Piggy in the middle
Living through another Cuba
While war is polishing his drum
And peace plays second fiddle
Living through another Cuba
Russia and America are at each other's
Throats but don't you cry
Living through another Cuba
Get on your knees and pray
And while you're down there
Kiss your arse goodbye

Living through another Cuba
We're the bulldog on the fence while
Others play their tennis overhead
Living through another Cuba
It's hardly love all and somebody might
Wind up red or dead
Living through another Cuba
Pour some oil on the waters quick
It doesn't matter where from
Living through another Cuba
He love me, he loves me not
He's pulling pins from an atom bomb

Living through another Cuba
This phenomenon happens every 20 years or so
Living through another Cuba
If they're not careful
Your watch won't be the only
Thing with a radioactive glow
Living through another Cuba
I'll stick my fingers in my ears and hope
They make it up before too late
Living through another Cuba
If we get through this lot
Alright, they're due for replay, 1998

Living through another Cuba
Living through another another
Living through another another
Living through another Cuba cuba cuba cuba
Living through another Cuba ba ba ba ba
Living through another Cuba
Look out for my corpse
In the colour supplement

Living through another Cuba
Living through another Cuba just
Like 1961 again
Get the bulldog to put it's teeth back in
Living through another Cuba
Living through another Cuba
Living through another Cuba
Living through another Cuba
Cu ba, Cu ba, Cu ba the ba ba
Living through another Cu-BA!
