Well he was thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to cambodia

And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
Ans as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside cambodia

But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - don't cry now - no tears now

And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again

View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore

I guess it all began about a year ago
Like a cheap love magazine
You know the kind you read about
And have to laugh
At the pages in between
Now i can't believe that fool inside is me
'cos i just can't face the world
I've grown to see

View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore

I saw you kissing her
I saw you making her
In the soft sheets in between
But when you turned around
I saw your eyes were fire
And you crashed out all my dreams

And like a fool i just stood there
And let it go
I should have fought right back
And let my feelings show

View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore

You sure as hell knew how
To make a fool out of me
Well you cut me down
For the things you want
And now it's killing me

I'll lay it on the line now
You're running out of time now

But then a voice said jump
And i just let go
And i'm floating out in space
But then i feel your arms
And i turn around
To a ghost without a face

And i just don't know
What's fact or fantasy
'cos when i look below the bridge
I see it's me

I was driving out to meet you that night
Getting reports on the weather
You were coming home, had caught the last flight
But we would soon be together
You'd been gone such a long time
When my radio gave the warning

Chorus:
Chaos at the airport tonight, something ain' t right
No-one can land in the weather
Planes are crashing out of control
And all in all i think you've lost him forever

Looking up i started searching the skies
Was he still up there above me
Was the man who'd waved a million goodbyes
Now just a stranger who loved me
But as i drove to the terminal sign
I heard a great loud explosion

Chorus

I ran so, so fast but if i could only reach you
But you're so far away, you're oh so far away
Landing lights approaching
Out from a sea of darkness
But you're so far away, you're oh so far away

Like a bird of death it hovered around
Until the wheels started turning
Then i saw the jets just touching the ground
And i could see it recurring
And as i looked for the last time
My radio gave the warning

I wake up in the morning, looking for reaction
Then i see your faces, only for fraction
Did you hurt my feelings ? you just nailed me to the wall

Never say you're sorry, never show emotion
Never show a good hand, never give a notion
Don't you feel it's obscene ? do you feel a thing at all ?

Chorus:
'cos you come right back with the same old story
Words fell down
Words fell down
You walk right back to the sound of glory
Words fell down
Words fell down
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless, it's so helpless

Always a deceiver, never any answers
Living in the shadows, taking any chances
When you get a good line, come and talk in to my face

Chorus

You fight right back with the same reaction
Words fell down
Words fell down
The same old show with the same old caption
Words fell down
Words fell down
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless, it's so helpless

Suddenly there's a shadow on a nation
Suddenly it's a changing situation
Fear is on the face of every tiger as the jungle grows
Suddenly people running never walking
Nobody wants to know, nobody's talking
But rushing through the air
I feel the wind of change about to blow

Chorus:
Watch out tonight, the dogs are down in action city
There out tonight, there's trouble down in action city

Watching the police running from the station
Suddenly flashing lights and confrotation
The devil walks the streets
Just as the flames of hell begin to grow

Chorus

It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world
Such a brave new world
Well i don't know where it's going
But it's heading for some changes i know

People are wondering why there's such confusion
There is a face of youth with disillusion
Don't look for the reasons
They were sprayed on every wall i know

Chorus

It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world
Such a brave new world
Well i don't know where it's going
But it's heading for some changes i know
