I used to love my country I used to feel so young I used to believe that life was the best song ever sung I would have died for my country back in 1945 but now only one thing remains - the brute will to survive London April 1982 On "A Pagan Place" and "The Whole Of The Moon" Tabbed by woutermoscou www.TAB6.com
