Is It Any Wonder --- Keane


I always thought that I knew   I'd always have the right to  Be living in the kingdom of the good and true  and so on  but now I think how I was wrong  And you were laughing along 
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side

Is it any wonder I'm tired   Is it any wonder that I feel uptight   Is it any wonder I don't know
what's right   Sometimes  It's hard to know where I stand  It's hard to know where I am 
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand 

But sometimes   I get the feeling that I'm   Stranded in the wrong time 
Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme, a soundbite
Is it any wonder that I'm tired  Is it any wonder that I feel uptight   is it any wonder I don't know what's right   oh, these days  After all the misery you made  Is it any wonder that I feel afraid 
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed 

Nothing left inside this old cathedral   Just the sad lonely spires  How do you make it right 
but you try  Is it any wonder I'm tired   Is it any wonder that I feel uptight  Is it any wonder I don't know what's right   oh, these days   After all the misery you made  Is it any wonder that I feel afraid  Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed                                                     (sing365)


The song is about the Iraq War:

It's probably the one song on the record that most expresses our dismay and confusion about what it means to be a British citizen, in terms of what our society's contributing to the world at large," Rice-Oxley explains. "It's very hard to make sense of why Britain feels it needs to sign up with George Bush's attacks on Iraq and the whole Afghanistan thing. It feels like there's a whole lot of trouble brewing up over Iran, and you just don't know where it's going to end. On a personal level, for people of our age, it's really unsettling...                                                                                 (wikipedia)
