billy bragg - island of no return lyrics

Loading...

digging all day and digging all night
to keep my foxhole out of sight
digging into dinner on a plate on my knees
the smell of damp webbing in the morning breeze

fear in my stomach, fear in the sky
i eat my dinner with a weary eye
after all this it won’t be the same
messing around on salisbury plain

pick up your feet, fall in, move out
we’re going to a party way down south
me and the corporal out on a spree
d-mned from here to eternity

i can already taste the blood in my mouth
we’re going to a party way down south

i hate this flat land, there’s no cover
for sons and fathers and brothers and lovers
i can take the killing, i can take the slaughter
but i don’t talk to sun reporters

i never thought that i would be
fighting fascists in the southern sea
i saw one today and in his hand
was a weapon that was made in birmingham

pick up your feet, fall in, move out
we’re going to a party way down south
me and the corporal out on a spree
d-mned from here to eternity

i can already taste the blood in my mouth
we’re going to a party way down south

i wish kipling and the captain were here
to record our pursuits for posterity
me and the corporal out on a spree
d-mned from here to eternity, oh
