"THE ULTIMATE DIPLOMACY SONG
"Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was time for a change
I killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
Use all of your well-learned politeness, or I'll lay your soul to waste"
---------------Rolling Stones

WHO I AM
"Masquerading as a man with a reason,
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man,
It surely means that I don't know.

On the stormy sea of (diplomacy) emotion
Cast about I'm like a fleet on the ocean"
-------------Kansas

ANATOMY OF A STAB
"Quite some time, I've been sitting out,
Didnt take no chances, I was a prisoner of doubt,
Now I know, got to play my hand
What (England) don't know, (Germany) understand...
Now I'm stronger , now I'm coming through
Coming straight on, straight on for you!"
------------Heart

and

"I've got you under my skin
I tried so hard not to give in
I said to myself this stab never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when Ruhr and Kiel support to Bel?
I've got you under my skin"
---------Cole Porter

and of course

They smile in your face...all the time they want to take your place,
the backstabbers....
O'Jays

FINDING OUT YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET STABBED
Bet you're wondering how I knew
'bout you're plans to make me blue
with some old ally that you knew before.
Between the two of us guys you know I helped you more.
It took me by surprise I must say,
when I found out yesterday.
Oo I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would I keep Spain.
Oo I heard it through the grapevine,
and I'm just about to lose this game.

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry,
but these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' Spain would end my life you see,
cause it borders on the Med Sea.
You could have told me yourself
that you found someone else.
Instead I heard it through the grapevine,
and I'm just about to lose this game.

People say believe half of what you see,
son, and none of what you hear.
I can't help bein' confused
Can you please just support me there?
Do you plan to let me go
for the old ally that you knew before?
Oo I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would I keep Spain.
Oo I heard it through the grapevine,
and I'm just about to lose this game.

DIPLOMACY REVENGE SONGS
"You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You’re in with"
---------Bob Dylan

"I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment (since 1905), Oh Lord
So when you told me you were drowning,
I could not lend a hand
I've seen your game before my friend,
Though I don't think you know who I am
But I know the reason why you keep your silence,
I saw what you did, saw it with my own 2 eyes,
So wipe off that grin, I know where you've been,
Its all been a pack of lies"
---------Phil Collins
