Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My life  is a valuable thing
I want to keep it that way, I won't cry
My life's such a valuable thing
And some things don't fade away, but I don't mind
[Verse 2]
We give the best we can give
We won't forget, we can't forgive
Keep us  radioactive free
Strike a bell in Hiroshima park
You know that we can't see in the dark
We try, and we try, and we try, and we try, and we try
[Verse 3]
Who waits for the planes to come
When everybody's got you on the run?
South Pacific, carry on
[Verse 4]
It seems to me  that what we're saying
Nobody wants to talk about it
This is no  time to be wondering why
I do the best I can do
The human jungle and the global zoo
I'll find my way, it's a very special world on now
[Verse 5]
Why wait for the planes to come
When everybody's got us on the run?
South Pacific, carry on
[Verse 6]
Here come the Hercules
Here come the submarines
Sinking South Pacific dreams
[Verse 7]
This is something I will remember
This is something I will remember
This is something I will remember
Remember, remember
[Verse 8]
Why wait for the planes to come
When everybody's got us on the run?
South Pacific, carry on
[Verse 9]
Here come the Hercules
Here come the submarines
Sinking South Pacific dreams
