the young'uns - between the wars lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was a miner, i was a docker
i was a railway man between the wars
i raised a family in times of austerity
with sweat at the foundry between the wars

[verse 2]
i paid the union, and as times got harder
i looked to the government to help the working man
but they brought prosperity down at the armory
we’re arming for peace, me boys, between the wars

[verse 3]
but i kept the faith and i kept voting
not for the iron fist, but for the helping hand
for theirs is a land with a wall around it;
and mine is a faith in my fellow man

[verse 4]
theirs is a land of hope and glory;
mine is thе green field and the factory floor
theirs arе the skies, all dark with bombers;
and mine is the peace we knew between the wars

[verse 5]
call up the craftsmen, bring me the draftsmen
and build me a path from cradle to grave
and i will give my consent to any government
that does not deny a man a living wage
[verse 6]
go find the young men, never to fight again
and bring out the banners from the days gone by
sweet moderation, heart of this nation:
desert us not, we are between the wars
