Verse 1
I met you in no man's land
Across the wire we were holding hands
Hearts a bubble in the rubble
It was love at bombsight
Chorus
But all you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
Barbed wire love Barbed wire love
Barbed wire love
Verse 2
When I fell it was awful nice
Caught when not suspecting vice
The night was rife with wasteland life
You set my arm alight
Chorus (with a sort of 50’s swing feel to it)
All you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love Oo-oo-oo snags my je - ee – eans

Verse 3
Blasted by your booby traps
I felt the blow with both kneecaps
Your eyes did shine your lips were fine
The device in your pants was outa sight
But nothing really matters cause...
Chorus
But all you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
Barbed wire love Barbed wire love
Barbed wire love
