1
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
2
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
3
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
4
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round
5
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
6
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
7
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
8
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
9
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
10
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
11
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
12
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
13
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
14
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
15
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
16
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
17
I fought in a war, and I didn't know where it would end
18
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think
19
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
20
There's trouble plenty in this hour, this day
21
I can see hope I can see light
22
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
23
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
24
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
25
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
