lyrics

Cold sweat across his brow as he wakes up from his sleep
In his mind he reflects on what he’s just seen
Images of a world he must struggle to believe
In his heart he sees that he’s been given a new fate
Is there time? Is there time? Could it be too late?
To save a world that constantly leads itself to hate

Tonight, tonight we’ll

Bring back the love
Bring back humanity to the world
And we need you
Let’s have a drink
Let go of all our petty fights
This day, when booze saved humanity

A round down and already spirits are high
Every friend of a friend becomes a friend of mine
If you really wanna fight then take it outside
Slug it out, stamp it down, then buy each other pints
Have a laugh, share a cab then leave it all behind
I can feel it comin’ in the air tonight
