Artist/Band: Stiff Little Fingers
Lyrics for Song: Beirut Moon
Lyrics for Album: Live Inspiration [2003]



(Intro Part)



We'd like to help you, the consul said

But theres nothing we can do

Well, you knew the risks when you took the job

After all you're not a fool



So, don't call me

Don't call me

I just can't bend the rules

Keep your chin up, I know its tough

Somehow you'll get through



It seems the Americans,

Bargain and rescue

But if you get caught, you're left to rot

Under a Beirut

Under a Beirut Moon



Sorry son, theres nothing we can do

Different rules, we haven't got a clue



We can't be seen to be giving to these terrorists, you see

If we talked with them,

It would mean the end,

For all that we hold dear



So, don't call me

Don't call me

I'm doing all I can

Although it seems, from where you sit

I don't give a damn



Back home they'll remember you

In the papers; On TV

Because, when you're caught

You're left to rot

Under a Beirut

Under a Beirut Moon



Sorry son, theres nothing we can do

Different rules, we haven't got a clue



Sorry son, theres nothing we can do

Different rules, we haven't got a clue



I know you dream of being free

Theres not much hope that I can see

Under a Beirut

Under a Beirut Moon



Now yesterday, on the news

I saw a hostage walking free

He talked of how, it came about

He gained his liberty



He said:

Don't give up

Don't give up

I can't bare to plead

Keep the pressure up

Don't let it drop

Somehow you'll get free



He said:

The Americans bargain and rescue

But when Brits get caught, they're left to rot

Under a Beirut

Under a Beirut Moon



Different rules, we haven't got a clue

Sorry son, theres nothing we can do

Different rules, we haven't got a clue



Different rules, we haven't got a clue

Sorry son, theres nothing we can do
