The Nits - Sketches of Spain lyrics
rate meThe streets of Barcelona are filled with blood and rain
The war is rolling over Spain.
Men and women running with sticks of dynamite
Storming stone buildings in the middle of the night
In the window near the last O of the sign hotel colon
Machine guns sweep the square for fun
The rich draw the steel curtains; the poor just lock the door
They don't want this war no more.
Chorus:
It never, never, never, never
Never stops, never stops!
It never, never, never, never
Never stops, never stops!
In the hills round Zaragoza we're waiting to attack
A knot of dirty men that shiver round their flag.
The boredom and the lack of sleep the tin cans in the mud
Red is the color of our blood.
Chorus:
We never, never, never, never
Never stops, never stop!
We never, never, never, never
Never stops, never stop!
I have seen the trenches and the blankets on dirt
I have seen the tears upon a farewell letter
I have seen the faces that no bullet can hurt
I have seen the spirit that no bomb can shatter.
The streets of Barcelona are filled with blood and rain
The war is rolling over Spain.
Men and women running with sticks of dynamite
Storming stone buildings in the middle of the night
Chorus:
It never, never, never, never
Never stops, never stops!
It never, never, never, never
Never stops, never stops!
I have seen the trenches and the blankets on dirt
I have seen the tears upon a farewell letter
I have seen the faces that no bullet can hurt
I have seen the spirit that no bomb can shatter
Knives can cut, fist can beat.
