English Civil War Lyrics

English Civil War lyrics

when johnny comes marching home again
he's coming by bus or underground
a
woman's eye will shed a tear
to see his face so beaten in fear
an' it was
just around the corner in the english civil war

it was still at the stage
of clubs and fists
when that well-known face got beaten to bits
your face
was blue in the light of the screen
as we watched the speech of an animal
scream
the new party army was marching right over our
heads

alright

there you are, ha ha, i told you so
says
everybody that we know
but who hid a radio under the stairs
an' who got
caught out on their unawares?
when that new party army came marching right
up the stairs

when johnny comes marching home again
nobody
understands it can happen again
the sun is shining an' the kids are shouting
loud
but you gotta know it's shining through a crack in the cloud
and the
shadows keep falling when johnny comes marching home
