Belle & Sebastian - I Fought In A War Lyrics
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind meTo go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very longBefore I would stand with another boy in front of meAnd a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying roundAnd I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting onAnd I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wearRound his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting forThis letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a whileI fought in a war and I left my friends behind meTo go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very longBefore I found out that the sickness there ahead of meWent beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone beforeAnd I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting onAnd I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wearRound his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting forThis letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a whileI fought in a war, and I didnt know where it would endIt stretched before me infinitely, I couldnt really thinkOf the day beyond now, keep your head down palTheres trouble plenty in this hour, this dayI can see hope I can see lightAnd I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting onAnd I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wearRound his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting forThis letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
