Texty: Chris De Burgh. Last Night.

Last night, I was walking through the harbor
Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore
The news had traveled fast and everyone went to be
Where the mayor was making a speech
And the crowd started cheering
When he talked about the glory of it all
And the boys coming home from the war

Last night, they were dancing in the streets
And making music in the alleyways and bars
From a house down in the old town
Came the sound of guitars Margarita was waiting inside
With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light
And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war
The boys coming home from the war

And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine
We were kings in command, we had God on our side
And we said, "Nothing will make us change in any way
Since yesterday, we're just the same
Since yesterday, nothing has changed
Since yesterday, we're just the same"
I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night

Last night, I was walking through the shadows
Far away from all the music and the girls
When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black
And they stood without any word
Just staring at a photograph of someone
And she began to cry for a boy left behind in the war
Some boy left behind in the war

And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine
We were kings in command, we had God on our side
And we said, "Nothing will make us change in any way
Since yesterday, we're just the same
Since yesterday, nothing has changed
Since yesterday, we're just the same"
But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night

We're just the same
Nothing has changed
We're just the same
