Bittersweet Songtext
Now all of the planes have landed
The soldiers are in their beds
Smoke rises from their clothing
And sweet dreams through their heads

The truth faced leaves a strange taste
Where joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
The boy with the bloated belly
Hears today's trucks arrive
Puts down his baby sister
And makes his way outside

Truth faced leaves a strange taste
Where joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet

Everyone's a novelist and everyone can sing
But no-one talks when the TV's on

The lightning flashed and the thunder rolled
Dark clouds filled the sky
A country rain on the city street
This life is bittersweet
