1939 Returning Lyrics
Crawled into the light,
Knew he was in for a shoe-in,
Just wasn't to be his night.
For the Motherland,
and the third reich,
always good to be shoe in,
when it's not to be your night,
your night.
so carefully,
on the drifting ice
behind enemy lines,
In 1939,
for Germany,
he sacrificed his life,
caught behind enemy lines,
in 1939.
London urchins grey with dust,
Back of fout west in evacuation,
the farmers life singing pleasent lies,
far from the doodblebugs.
leaving town in worn-out shoes,
Now she's back out west,
in sheltered accomodation,
Homes for the old,
where pills arent the only blues.
so carefully,
on the drifting ice
staring into the tv guide,
In 2009,
oh how it hurts me,
I've only seen her twice
since she went west for the second time
since 1939.
Dragged out of the frozen Rhine, For the Motherland, and the third reich, always good to be shoe in, when it's not to be your night, your night.
should this part be?
Dragged out of the frozen Rhine, For the Motherland, and the third reich, a toeings/towings as good as a shoeing, when it's not to be your night, your night.
The lyrics are flawed. They should be as follows:
Captured clandestine Crawled into the lights He knew he was in for a shoeing Just wasn't to be his night
Dragged out of the frozen Rhine For the Motherland and the Third Reich A toeing's as good as a shoeing When it's not to be your night
Tread carefully, so carefully Upon the drifting ice Caught behind enemy lines In 1939 For Germany he sacrificed his life Caught behind enemy lines There in 1939
Kids knee-deep in rubble London urchins grey with dust Packed off west in evacuations To farmers' wives Green and pleasant lives Far from the doodlebugs
Nanna Doll she still remembers Leaving town in worn-out shoes Now she's back out west in sheltered accommodations Homes for the old where pills aren't the only blues
Tread carefully, so carefully Upon the drifting ice Staring blank into the TV guide In 2009 How it's hurting me, I've only seen her twice Since she went west for the second time Since 1939
Tread carefully, so carefully Upon the drifting ice Staring blank into the TV guide In 2009 How it's hurting me, I've only seen her twice Since she went west for the second time Since 1939
