Nits - Sketches Of Spain lyrics

rate me

(Hofstede/Stips)<br />

The streets of Barcelona are filled with blood and rain<br />

The war is rolling over Spain<br />

Men and women running with sticks of dynamite<br />

Storming stone buildings in the middle of the night<br />

In the window near the last 'o' of the sign 'Hotel Colon'<br />

Machine guns sweep the square for fun<br />

The rich draw the steel curtain<br />

The poor just lock the door<br />

They don't want this war no more<br />

It never never never never never stops never stops<br />

It never never never never never stops never stops<br />

In the hills round Zaragoza we're waiting to attack<br />

A knot of dirty men that shiver round their flag<br />

The boredom and the lack of sleep<br />

The tin cans in the mud<br />

Red is the colour of our blood<br />

We never never never never never stop never stop<br />

We never never never never never stop never stop<br />

I have seen the trenches and the blankets on dirt<br />

I have seen the tears upon a farewell letter<br />

I have seen the faces that no bullet can hurt<br />

I have seen the spirit that no bomb can shatter<br />

The streets of Barcelona are filled with blood and rain<br />

The war is rolling over Spain<br />

Men and women running with sticks of dynamite<br />

Storming stone buildings in the middle of the night<br />

They never never never never never stop never stop<br />

They never never never never never stop never stop<br />

I have seen the trenches and the blankets on dirt<br />

I have seen the tears upon a farewell letter<br />

I have seen the faces that no bullet can hurt<br />

I have seen the spirit that no bomb can shatter<br />

Knives can cut fist can beat
