Short Memory (Track by Track) Songtext
Conquistador of Mexico
The Zulu and the Navaho
The Belgians in the Congo, short memory
Plantation in Virginia
The Raj in British India
The deadline in South Africa, short memory
The story of El Salvador
The silence of Hiroshima
Destruction of Cambodia, short memory
Short memory, must have a short memory
Short memory, must have a short memory
The sight of hotels by the Nile
The designated Hilton style
With running water specially bought, short memory
A smallish man, Afghanistan
A watch dog in a nervous land
They′re only there to lend a hand, short memory
The friendly five, a dusty smile
Wake up in sweat at dead of night
And in the tents new rifles, hey, short memory
Short memory, must have a short memory
Short memory, must have a short memory
The short memory, must have a short memory
Short memory, must have a -
Short memory, must have a -
If you read the history books
You'll see the same things happen again and again (short memory, must have a -)
Repeat, repeat short memory they′ve all got it (short memory)
When are we going to play it again? (Short memory, must have a -)
Got a short, got a short, got a short, got a short (short memory)
They've got a short, must have a short, they've got a short (short memory, must have a -)
Short memory, must have a -
