Lyrics - The Birthday Cake by Camel

(
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 50th 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.
