[00:02.17]I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
[00:08.22]To go looking for the enemy and it wasn't very long
[00:19.39]Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
[00:26.76]And a corpse that just fell into me with the bullets flying round
[00:35.19]And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
[00:43.74]And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
[00:50.91]Round his neck well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
[00:59.21]This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
[01:08.31]I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
[01:14.68]To go looking for the enemy and it wasn't very long
[01:21.86]Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
[01:29.28]Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
[01:34.02]And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
[01:44.45]And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
[01:51.50]Round his neck well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
[01:59.43]This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
[02:07.53]
[02:37.61]I fought in a war and I didn't know where it would end
[02:43.41]It stretched before me infinitely I couldn't really think
[02:47.85]Of the day beyond now keep your head down pal
[02:57.09]There's trouble plenty in this hour this day
[02:59.45]I can see hope I can see light
[03:02.19]
[03:05.09]And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
[03:13.01]And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
[03:20.24]Round his neck well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
[03:26.23]This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
