Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine - Before The War lyrics

Of all the bars and all the pubs And all the late night drinking clubs You had to walk into them all You've been drinking to forget You need to keep your thinking set On what you did before the war Befor the bugler changed his tune When everything was Mills and Boon And lovers issed beneath the stars Now they've flattened all the flats It's time to batten down the hatch With another whisky from the bar And drink yourself under the table Terrestrial TV and cable The wireless and the Internet Remind us what we're drinking to forget It's something more than just the guilt You can't be sure, you must have k**ed But you really can't be sure When progress moves so fast It leaves us in the past With platform shoes and dinosaurs Close your eyes and count to ten Forget the whys and wheres And when you feel sober It still isn't over There's more Sell your house And change your name Because you'll never be the same man That you were Befor the war
