You can tell when I wrote it by the trouble spots referenced.
Dedicated to my two mates just outside of London. Lloyd E and Ken D. Hope you like it, lads.



Foreign Correspondent

Well I'm packing up my mochila
And heading out to Kashmir
Cause I hear the Pakistanis
Got some trouble up there

Packed my Lonely Planet
Got my American Express
Going to love my lady
And wish her all the best

Cause I'm a foreign correspondent
A wordsmith by trade
Where the bombs and bullets are flying
That's where my money's made

Been to Bosnia, Chechnya and Iran
Seen the best and the worst
In every man
