Have you ever been to Nomansland? It's full of smiles, laughter, dread and dearth Of any repercussions If you're Russian or a serf On a wave that leads to everything Tho nothing you want first. Come on down to Nomansland And quench your nagging thirst Tired of your burden, want to rest your restless mind? We have trenches, dumps, and valleys To poor thoughts of every kind Relax, space out, while those thoughts race away That's right Shut up Sit down You have no choice but to stay! Forget your problems Lose your worries Ignore your friends And family too! Let your pain slip away With your ecstasy in suit! Look at everything, see nothing, through your eyes of faded hue! That's right Little lost soul ... ...there is no real you. Once, in a stupor, Long ago, through the grime, Another came knocking here Searching for their mind. They were blissful, Vacant, A customer served full, But for one little thought That rattled round their skull "I want... it... back." Back?! They must have lost their head!!! We examined it extensively: It was perfectly braindead Everything in order, we couldn't figure out Where the clanging came from When we jiggled them about No matter, don't worry It's of no concern to you, We're usually successful When we stir brains into stew. Just relax to the ditty of our unlive band I'm Noman by the way, Welcome to my land!

Nomansland
In 1914 when the cold wind blew, Through no-mans land with a familiar tune. In two opposing languages, Both sides sang, In perfect harmony, Their voices rang out. Two brave souls who started it all, Risked their lives for a game of ball. Germany and UK played side-by-side, Enemies who became friends despite their divide. A Christmas truce and a miracle of war, A handshake that would become much, much more.

Christmas Truce of 1914
I don’t think you’ll ever know, How it feels to be all alone. Just holding on to anything, Just to keep these tears at bay. My shoulders feel heavy And my chest is tight. I just want to make it through the night, Hoping that you don’t see I’m fighting not to give it. I don’t know how I got into this, Been fighting with myself just to hang on, I know you can’t see what’s killing me... But never mind, you’ll never know. My mind is a battle field. I’m just stood in no-mans land, Don’t care if I’m hit. I won’t open up just in case you run My mind is a dark place, just shutting down...
