NDP 1997 - 09 Not Here, Not There

Track 9: Not Here, Not There
Singapore - National Day Parade 1997

"Act 1: We Celebrate Our Achievements
World War II, Malayan Emergency, racial riots, union strikes, student unrest, discord with Malaysia and the subsequent separation brought many years of hard work to nought overnight."

Lyrics:
Not here, not there
No one seems to make sense to me
Not here, not there
No one seems to agree
Voices, voices everywhere
Is all I hear in the air
Noises, noises here and there
Just too much to bear

*Not here, not there
Why does anyone not take heed?
Not here, not there
Friends or neighbours indeed
Voices, voices everywhere
Is all I hear in the air
Noises, noises here and there
Just too much to bear

Not here, not there
Why the squabbles and why the pain?
Not here, not there
Only myself to blame
Voices, voices everywhere
Is all I hear in the air
Noises, noises here and there
Just too much to bear

Repeat*
