The Beautiful South - A Minute's Silence lyrics

With a minute's silence for the dead And a minute's silence for the long-lost lovers No one's really in the mood for beer With a minute's silence for the child And a minute's silence for the grieving mothers There's not much talking going down here With a minute's silence for the girl With a minute's silence for the younger brother Things have never been so clear With a minute's silence for your friend With a minute's silence for your long-lost folk A minute's silence lasts a year A minute's silence seems a year And the park is filled with pain For this age has laid its claim And the street's about to cry Cos it longs for pa**ers-by It longs for pa**ers-by
