It Had To Happen Really
I was looking on the web for Nieghbours info. I found out with great joy that my equal favourite character (along with Susan), Karl Kennedy, or rather the actor who plays him, has an official website. It's very good. And, believe it or not, he has recorded an anti-war song. It's available to download, and that is what I have done. At times, it is both as crap as Natalie Imbruglia and as brilliant as Holly Valance. It goes like this:

Perfectly Comfortable By Dr Kennedy

A child questions the world with innocent eyes, her future depends on your reply
Does she see a tear in your eye? Are you perfectly comfortable?
All that she sees, and all that she hears, determines how she feels in 50 years
Will she still be living with grandaddy's fears?
Are we perfectly comfortable?

(Guitars kick in big time)
And are you perfectly comfortable with all that’s been said?
All your child is offered in your defence,
If you’re perfectly comfortable you’re fit to offend
Are you perfectly comfortable going to war without moral sanction against the law? (Good line)
Are you perfectly comfortable fighting the world?

If you’re perfectly comfortable with all that’s been done
Gaze at your daughters, gaze at your son (I would have used 'gun')
Ask yourself this question over again
Would you be perfectly happy if it happened to them?
If you’re perfectly comfortable commit to offence

History tells the tale, a man and armour on their crusade
Must we repeat what they have failed to do?
Oh, it’s all so familiar, let’s solve this with a sword
It’s so familiar, we know no other way to go forward

Oh men will decide who lives and who dies
They take the blame but we wear the shame
The future of peace lies with you and with me (This bit is shouted)

(Spoken word now)
Stop for a while, gaze at the smiles, slacken your haste, reflect on the face of a child

Are you still perfectly comfortable?


I have never heard the phrase 'perfectly comfortable' so much in my whole life. This is quite good actually.
