Minefield Songtext
von Julia Fordham

I might get myself in trouble
Keeping you here in this bubble
Pink and soft and safe and warm
Since the day that you were born
Hide the scissors and the matches
Hurry, batten down the hatches
Lock the doors and pad the walls
Seal the windows, nail the bolts

How can I tell you the world′s not only beautiful?
After all, it's a minefield out there
Please be mindful to take care

In a minefield, it can be a minefield

A-B-C-D, one, two, three, four
Off to school then out the front door
Love and loss, hope and despair
All waiting for you out there


How can I tell you the world′s not only beautiful?
After all, it's a minefield out there
Please be mindful to take care

In a minefield, it can be a minefield

Run, run for cover, there's an incoming coming
An incoming coming coming
Head for the river, it will always deliver
It′s the only thing I know
To dive in and go with the flow

Here′s the knife, go ahead, sever
All these ties until whenever
You might want to come back home
You'll be fine out there alone

Now I can tell you the world′s not only beautiful
After all, it's a minefield out there
Please be mindful to take care

In a minefield, it can be a minefield out there
