The Developed World

by Lawrence Arabia

lyrics

I go walking on wintry morns
The sun rolls low as it draws a bow around the world
Wraps a present on its way,
The neighbours say “it’s a beautiful day”
– and I’m a happy man.

I’m out befriending while the world is ending,
The weather’s warming and I’m feeling fine.
The world is cooking but I’m still good looking,
An SOS that no-one heard in the Developed World.

I grew up in a nuclear nightmare
Never hurt me, what d’you think about this?
I’m in a state of bliss.
Hitting downtown with frosted tips and a jolly little tune upon my lips,
Upon my lips.

I’m feeling charming but we ain’t disarming,
There’s tanks-a-forming across the wire
There’s senseless killing but I’m just here thrilling
To a movie love between boy and girl – in the Developed World.

You’d get me down all the time
But I choose what I ignore
Cos it ain’t right to be hung up all your life
So I just smile all the time
And I love everyone
And I love all the more when I’m on my own.

I go walking on wintry morns
The sun rolls low as it draws a bow around the world
Wraps a present on its way,
The neighbours say “it’s a beautiful day”
– and I’m a happy man.
