Facts + Figures Lyrics - Singles - Hugh Cornwell

If all the food 

The warsmen ate was sent around the world 

No one would have to work 

A single day 

If all the money 

In the banks was left to boy and girl 

No one could then complain 

About their pay 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Filling up the pages every day 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Spilling out of papers every day 

Upon the roads 

The accidents 

They rob us of the few 

Wars 

They take away so many more 

As long as we don't know them 

They remain upon the page 

It's the history book picture 

That you saw 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Filling up the pages every day 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Spilling out of papers every day 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Right or wrong is difficult to say 

'Cause everybody knows 

The way that the wind blows 

Facts and figures can be friends or foes 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Facts and figures 

Right or wrong is difficult to say 

'Cause everybody knows 

The way that the wind blows 

Facts and figures can be friends or foes 

So try to keep your fingers crossed 

When listening for the bell 

So facts and figures don't catch you as well 

So facts and figures don't catch us as well 

So facts and figures don't catch us as well 

So facts and figures don't catch us as well 

So facts and figures don't catch us as well
