Barbed Wire Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I met you in No Man's Land
Across the wire we were holding hands
Hearts a-bubble in the rubble
It was love at bomb site
But all you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
Barbed wire love
Barbed wire love
Barbed wire love
When I fell it was awful nice
Caught when not suspecting vice
The night was rife with wasteland life
You set my Armalite
All you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love, oo-oo-oo, snags my jeans
Barbed-barbed-barbed barbed wire love
Barbed-barbed-barbed barbed wire love
Barbed-barbed-barbed barbed wire love
Barbed wire love
Barbed wire love
Blasted by your booby traps
I felt the blow in both knee caps
Your eyes did shine, your lips were fine
The device in your pants was out of sight
But nothing really matters
Because all you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
