  Long ago, ago, ago, ago before the war
Contractors  to her majesty's government we were
dealers  in honest trade
there  were some mighty queer folk about
but  most were honest workers and knew their place
I  was a skilled craftsmen, mark you
the  work was hard and the hours were  long
Ah,  but there was a maiden
and  her name was Marjorie
Long  black hair she had like a gypsy
And  the prettiest smile I'd ever seen
and  I called her an angel
and  I was right, she was
Then  there was  a war, the war

Forging  a pathway  for  freedom
using  resources we  need them
though  are foes are human  beings we stand between them
and  a life we do condone
shipped  out to Belgium  to starve  them
plastered  and shelled  them but lost  ground
bombs  and rockets, V2's  over London city
and  the world at their  command
 And  back in Yeadon, Marjorie
stood  beneath  a factory
I  was assured  she felt  okay

Withdrawn  from Dunkirk  in cruisers
who  cares says  I, we're all  losers
No  one wins both sides the  victims of our nature
May  the future learn
and  back in Yeadon, Marjorie
died  beneath  the factory
a  Messerschmidtt  her destiny
You  who think  the rest  are wrong
 and stand  so tall  and feel  so strong
please  be sure that you  yourselves are not mistaken
or  the future won't be long
