about

Remembering Carl Woodbridge, who was lost in the pandemic.

lyrics

I saw lightning, colours in the rain
A whisper in a world of pain
When I called out twice “I don’t want to pay the price”
Here’s the only answer that came

Never plant a bomb on a cross-town bus
Never fire a gun in the rain
Heaven has reserved a special place for us
Never give a life in vain

And the message comes down (x 3)

On the Baghdad radio
On the Baghdad radio
The martyrs walk to and fro
On the Baghdad radio

Obligation, shifting in the sands
A mission in a foreign land
Faith is wafer thin, you should see the state I’m in
The only creed that comes to hand is

Never plant a bomb on a cross-town bus
Never fire a gun in the rain
Heaven has reserved a special place for us
Never give a life in vain

And the message comes down (x 3)

On the Baghdad radio
On the Baghdad radio
The martyrs walk to and fro
On the Baghdad radio

A life in vain, oh, it’s a life in vain
On the Baghdad radio, the martyrs walk to and fro
I saw lightning, colours in the rain
A whisper in a world of pain (x 5)
