lyrics

Wounded in Action
(Jones)

You kept me all night talking
Equal rights for us and them
Then I heard you sold the sequel rights
To the head of M.G.M.
Your care for your profession
And in honesty and trust
So how come all these party crumbs
Come from England's upper crust?

Empty windows, empty windows in the snow
How come it's winter, winter everywhere you go?
Did you think I needed, did you think I needed to be hurt?
Wounded in action, were you hoping I'd desert?

What was common in our background
Was this game of 'Let's pretend'
When the hosts swooped from Rebecca
There was nothing left to mend
Oh, how could you find this easy?
And how could you be so hard?
Should have seen those extra clauses
Hidden in your party card

Empty windows, empty windows in the snow
How come it's winter, winter everywhere you go?
Did you think I needed, did you think I needed to be hurt?
Wounded in action, were you hoping I'd desert?

Ah, wounded, wounded isn't dead
Maybe I'm stronger now not in heart
But in my head
Wounded, wounded and alone
I hear 'The Last Post'
On a tenor saxophone

Empty windows, empty windows in the snow
How come it's winter, winter everywhere you go?
Did you think I needed, did you think I needed to be hurt?
Wounded in action, were you hoping I'd desert?
