    Story Behind the Song
    This is from a most unusual Cd project. Producer Lewis Melville asked musicians to try to write one-minute long songs... ones that still conveyed a complete thought or feeling in that short time. The bombing of Canadian troops and the meaningless deaths of 4 soldiers as a result of "friendly fire" from the U.S. had just happened. "Friendly Fire" is such an absurd term, that it was a natural subject for a song with an absurd length!n

    Lyrics

    The happy pilot in his nice clean killing suit,
    Gives the thumbs up sign, he looks so cute;
    He winks and gives a neighbourly grin,
    It’s time for the big show to begin.
    The smiling bombs dancing from their bay,
    Light up the sky like it’s a holiday,
    We know everything will be all right
    ‘Cause it’s just friendly fire,
    It’s just friendly fire..
