Excellent sound quality. Sounds better than an actual FM Stereo radio broadcast in 1982. This has made my night 😊

Lyrics
Crying parents tell their children
If you survive don't do as we did
A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you
While foreign affairs are screwing rotten,
Line morale has hit rock bottom
Dying embers stand forgotten
Talks of peace were being trodden
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
Is this the value of our existence
Should we proclaim with such persistence
Our destiny relies on conscience
Red or blue, what's the difference
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
It's the Euro theatre
It's the Euro theatre
It's the Euro theatre
An empty face reflects extinction
Ugly scars divide the nation
Desecrate the population
There will be no exhaultation
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
It's the Euro theatre
It's the Euro theatre
It's the Euro theatre
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
