The Lebanon lyrics

[Verse 1: Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, Susanne Sulley]
She dreams of 1969
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared, she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die

[Chorus: Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, Susanne Sulley]
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon?
The Lebanon

[Verse 2: Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, Susanne Sulley, Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, Susanne Sulley]
Before he leaves the camp, he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
Weren't we supposed to keep the peace?
[Chorus: Philip Oakey, Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, Susanne Sulley]
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon? The Lebanon
The Lebanon, from the Lebanon

[Bridge: Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, Susanne Sulley]
I must be dreaming
It can't be true
I must be dreaming
It can't be true

[Outro: Philip Oakey, Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, Susanne Sulley]
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon? The Lebanon
The Lebanon, from the Lebanon
