      this is a good song to start listening to Dire Straits!

      These mist covered mountains
      Are a home now for me
      But my home is the lowlands
      And always will be
      Someday you’ll return to
      Your valleys and your farms
      And you’ll no longer burn to be
      Brothers in arms

      Through these fields of destruction
      Baptisms of fire
      I’ve witnessed your suffering
      As the battle raged higher
      And though they did hurt me so bad
      In the fear and alarm
      You did not desert me
      My brothers in arms

      There’s so many different worlds
      So many different suns
      And we have just one world
      But we live in different ones

      Now the sun’s gone to hell and
      The moon’s riding high
      Let me bid you farewell
      Every man has to die
      But it’s written in the starlight
      And every line in your palm
      We are fools to make war
      On our brothers in arms
