War
Tones on Tail Lyrics

You're given two sets of clues
You're in a confusing situation where you have multiple, conflicting pieces of information.

With the answers all the same
Despite the confusion, all the solutions lead to the same outcome.

And a two-speed crossword
The situation you're in is complex and difficult to navigate, like a challenging crossword puzzle.

Called 'love in the suds'
The situation is related to a romantic entanglement or emotional turmoil.

Your bullet holes are screaming
You've been hurt and the pain is overwhelming.

Wearing shoes you should be seen in
You're trying to make a good impression, even though your situation is difficult.

With a brave knife and fork
You're facing your challenges head-on and are prepared to fight for what you want.

We're all set to go flying
You're ready to take on the world and succeed.

Comes trouble - here comes trouble (2x)
Despite your best efforts, there are still obstacles in your path and you're about to face more difficulties.

Your thought for the weeks
You've been preoccupied with a specific idea or theme for some time.

In the river, river, river
This idea has been consuming you and you can't shake it.

Feels something like a crow
This idea is dark and unsettling, like a crow, a bird often associated with death.

Flying round with the planes
Your thoughts are turbulent and hard to control, like an out-of-control airplane.

And the fish down under
Beneath the surface, there are hidden depths to your thoughts and feelings.

Coming up with rust inside
Despite appearances, there are elements of decay and disrepair lurking within you.

And your summer days were spent
You've been wasting time and energy on frivolous pursuits instead of focusing on what's important.

Collecting soap opera stories
You've been caught up in drama and gossip, distracting you from your true goals.

Saved by the music makers
Music has saved you from despair and given you hope.

Speed boat to freedom
You're making a break for it and trying to escape your troubles quickly.

With the beautiful people
You're seeking out companionship and support from those who are like-minded and positive.

Bullet holes in your head
You're still hurting and feeling the aftermath of past traumas.

But you're running out of time
You know that your time is limited and feel a sense of urgency to fix your problems.

And you're running out of freedom
Your options are becoming more limited and you feel trapped.

Now the animal crackers
You're indulging in something childish and escapist to distract yourself from reality.

All set to go flying
Despite your troubles, you're still hopeful and excited about the future.

Comes trouble - here comes trouble (2x)
Despite your optimism, you know that more challenges are coming your way.

Here comes trouble - comes trouble (6x)
Your troubles are persistent and always lurking around the corner, ready to strike again.
