I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt 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...
1st chorus:
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
2nd verse:
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
2nd chorus:
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
3rd Verse:
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
3rd Chorus
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
