Maybe this have been discused before, but I wonder if you can mention songs where the lyrics had something to do with the Cold War.

I guess I have to start the list:
Two tribes - FGTH (a brilliant video)

Your probably right about Ratinal Youth. The album was called COLD WAR, NIGHT LIFE.

99 Luft Ballons by Nena, am I right?

Fishbone "Party At Ground Zero"
Time Zone "World Destruction"
Ultravox "White China" (maybe not directly but seems to be about a fear of communism), "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes"
The Fixx "Red Skies", "Stand or Fall"
Nena "99 Luftballoons"
OMD "Enola Gay"

That's the few I can think of

I always interpreted the Fixx's "A Letter To Both Sides" as Cold War fare. I never listened closely to the words, though.
