I Fought In A War |
| I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn’t very long |
| Before I would stand with another boy in front of me And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round |
| And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on And I bet you’re making shells back home for a steady boy to wear |
| Round his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting for |
| This letter to arrive because I’ll be here quite a while |
| I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn’t very long |
| Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before |
| And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on And I bet you’re making shells back home for a steady man to wear |
| Round his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting for |
| This letter to arrive because I’ll be here quite a while |
| I fought in a war, and I didn’t know where it would end |
| It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn’t really think |
| Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal |
| There’s trouble plenty in this hour, this day |
| I can see hope I can see light |
| And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on And I bet you’re making shells back home for a steady man to wear |
| Round his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting for |
| This letter to arrive because I’ll be here quite a while |
