Letra de Beirut moon

"We´d like to help you." the consul said

"But there´s nothing we can do

Well, you knew the risks when you took the job

After all you´re not a fool

So, don´t call me, don´t call me

I just can´t bend the rules

Keep your chin up, I know it´s tough

Somehow you´ll get through."

It seems the Americans bargain and rescue

But if you get caught you´re left to rot

Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon


(Chorus:)

Under a Beirut Moon

Sorry son, there´s nothing we can do

Under a Beirut Moon

Different rules, we haven´t got a clue


"We can´t be seen to be giving in

To these terrorists you see

If we talk with them it would mean the end

Of all that we hold dear

So don´t call me, don´t call me

I´m doing all I can

Although it seems from where you sit

I don´t give a damn."

Back home they´ll remember you in papers, on TV

Because when you´re caught you´re left to rot

Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon


(Chorus)


And though you dream of being free

There´s not much hope that I can see

Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon


Now just today on the news I saw

A hostage walking free

He talked of how it came about

He gained his liberty

He said, don´t give up, don´t give up

Argue, beg and plead

Keep the pressure up, don´t let it drop

Somehow you´ll get free

He said the Americans would bargain and rescue

But when Brits get caught they´re left to rot

Under a Beirut, under the Beirut Moon
