BELLE & SEBASTIAN - I Fought In A War lyrics

rate me

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