The Birthday Cake - Lyrics by Camel


Lyrics
(
Instrumental)
Weeks of monotony filled his life with an opposite extreme. Nolonger pursued by opportunists who disguised themselves withgood intentions, his body regained strength. The governmentarranged his back-pay. The mass of generation-removedrelatives ceased their dutiful visits and eventually no one cameto see the hero who had fought the longest war. For his 5
0th birthday, the nursing staff organised a smallparty. To make him feel at home, the festive cake has beendecorated in the form of a tropical island. Nude was visiblymoved by the occasion and yet he seemed strangely distracted. They thought it best to leave him alone.
