You ask me what love is
but I know nothing about that
Only things that can be measured
can I understand
It is 40 years ago today
The Beatles were the Lonely Hearts Club Band
Your grandmother had just turned 18
Another time in the same land
the same old fears, another name
From cold war to warm
winters, black holes
You stand on the front line again
All, all, all
comes to those who
dare to be afraid
A valentine of blood, chocolate
They have cordoned off half the town
and everyone knows that the storm is coming
The band have just taken to the stage
There is sin on the one that
casts the first stone
Everyone knows that the storm is coming
Riot police everywhere
but we are so many more
I push, lose breath
and the rain pours down
You stand on the front line again
All, all, all
comes to the one that dares
to be afraid
Do you dare to be afraid
I have it
You have it now
the same symptoms
both me and you
I have it
But you say
I... am not sick
You stand in the frontline again
All, all, all
comes to the one that
dares to be afraid
Do you dare to be afraid
