Beautiful South A Minute`s Silence Lyrics

A Minute`s Silence Lyrics

With a minute's silence for the dead

And a minute's silence for the long-lost lovers

No one's really in the mood for beer



With a minute's silence for the child

And a minute's silence for the grieving mothers

There's not much talking going down here



With a minute's silence for the girl

With a minute's silence for the younger brother

Things have never been so clear



With a minute's silence for your friend

With a minute's silence for your long-lost folk

A minute's silence lasts a year



A minute's silence seems a year



And the park is filled with pain

For this age has laid its claim

And the street's about to cry

Cos it longs for passers-by

It longs for passers-by
