Need A Lot Of Love - Magnum

A soldier cut loose in Saigon

He used to be a farmer just like anyone

A soldier cut loose in Saigon

Even to his father he’s a violent son

Someone built a wall in Berlin

Not to keep them out but to keep them in

Someone built a wall in Berlin

A permanent reminder of what’s happening

We need a lot of love

Got to take a lot of pain

You can watch the river flood

But get washed away the same

Oh, we know that things don’t last

So we use the guiding tracks

Through the deadly ring of flame

Smoking in a room in Lebanon

The hotel’s serving but the hospital’s gone

Choking in a room in Lebanon

Many people hurting, still the telephone’s on

Standing on a street in Belfast

A city of division, widow in black

Standing on a street in Belfast

The crunching of the feet on the broken glass

We need a lot of love

Got to take a lot of pain

You can watch the river flood

But get washed away the same

Oh, we know that things don’t last

So we use the guiding tracks

Through the deadly ring of flame

We need a lot of love

Can you feel the love?

Got to take a lot of pain

Lot of pain

You can watch the river flood

Sitting by the river

But get washed away the same

Washing over me

Oh, we know that things don’t last

So we use the guiding tracks

Through the deadly ring of flame
