(Fig. 1, with lyrics:)
Standing at the window,
a farmer's wife in Oxfordshire
Glances at the clock, it's nearly time for tea,
she doesn't see
The phantom in the hedgerow it its wings;
Doesn't hear the engine sing...

What a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream
A7aug5 A7
The eternal child leafs through his war magazine, and his
kind Uncle Sam
D
feeds ten trillion in change, into the total entertainment
combat video game.

And up here in the stands, the fans are goin' wild, the

cheerleaders flip when you wiggle your hip, and we all like
the bit when you
D
take the jeans from the refrigerator and then the bad guy
gets hit.

And were you struck by the satisfying way the swimsuit
sticks to her skin,
A7aug5 A7
like B.B. gun days, when knives pierced autumn leaves, but
that's okay,

see the children bleed, it'll look great on the T.V.
