No More Losing the War Lyrics
Somebody stop her,
The lifter,
The runner,
The girl with the gold in her mouth.
They caught her at London,
Waterloo Station,
Strung up on a ferris wheel.
She used to lose pageants.
"Pick of the litter"
The newspapers screamed from their racks,
Pictures at seven, nine-teen eighty-somethin'
The waltz on her father's shoes.
No more losing the war, Karen.
No more losing the war, Karen.
But I really knew her
in an after-pub-closing way.
Falling down, crawling drunk laughing like children with sugared-up gullets
I rue this day.
No more losing the war, Karen.
oh Karen..
No more losing the war.
You got me all frustrated
in an old fashioned way.
Easy does it, rider.
I've had a long, long day...
No more losing the war, Karen.
No more losing the war, Karen.
The lifter,
The runner,
The girl with the gold in her mouth.
Waterloo Station,
Strung up on a ferris wheel.
"Pick of the litter"
The newspapers screamed from their racks,
Pictures at seven, nine-teen eighty-somethin'
The waltz on her father's shoes.
No more losing the war, Karen.
in an after-pub-closing way.
Falling down, crawling drunk laughing like children with sugared-up gullets
I rue this day.
oh Karen..
in an old fashioned way.
I've had a long, long day...
No more losing the war, Karen.

The title is No More Losing the War
This has a ghostly/old feel to it, like Karen is some zombie?
This song is based on a novel by the name of Waterloo by Karen Olsson. A reporter for Waterloo Weekly who is in a slump in every part of his life. A political book set in Austin, Texas but not only covers the politics there, but all the people who populate the town it is set in.
