  • Just the very thought, trust but verify

    The very best of Neil Diamond
    Sings as the bombs rain down from the crystal sky
    The very best of Neil Diamond
    Radio cassette plays on as the kitchen crushed

    Just the very thought, trust but verify

    The very best of Neil Diamond
    Hear its cry come through concrete rubble mound
    But even craters should honour life
    Still the cassette plays on, oh sweet Caroline

    Comedy killer, follow the leader
    Tragedy bringer, violent thriller

    Just the very thought, trust but verify, just to terrify
    What's an empty thought but a lullaby? Writer/s: CIAN CIARAN, DAFYDD IEUAN, GRUFFYDD MAREDUDD BOWEN RHYS, GUTO DAFYDD PRYCE, HUW CENNYDD BUNFORD
