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