Same campaign

well something is pretty rotten
in the state of Denmark
and something dark has travelled
into your heart
yeah you’re the darling of the left
and the hero of the barricade
at least you are baby
in your own brain
but it’s so hard for me
to find the right words to explain
I had to watch you from the cable car
reaching out for the flame

and your campaign and my campaign
are not the same
your campaign and my campaign
are not the same
campaign

well you lost your horse
so you did what the other
shadow riders do
you took the credit
and you broke the vow
you had no right to
I guess I gave it all away
before I had to
but to carry on
I would have had to put myself
right in harm’s way
and I needed to keep the peace
if only to fight one more day
in the end I guess
we both lost as much
as each other anyway

and your campaign
and my campaign
are not the same

Well you gave away my clothes
to your country boyfriend
then you played him all my love songs
just to blow him away
yeah you came on wet and wild
like a junior hurricane
but he left you string out
down on lovers lane
well I hope you find it easy
to get back in the saddle again

and your campaign
and my campaign
are not the same

now you switch your phone
to airplane mode
when the truth gets going
the rivers rising but you don’t know
which way the tide is flowing
but I know you can be found
down on the beach
while the town burns down
cos you just can’t go on
living here
with no leave to remain

you’ll find me back on solid ground
if you ever need
someone to blame

yes you’ll find me back on solid ground
if you ever need
someone to blame

cos your campaign and my campaign
are not the same
your campaign and my campaign
are not the same
campaign
