BETWEEN THE WARS LYRICS

"Goodnight Sweetheart"

a sense of uneasiness goes off into the night
with thunderclaps, lightning bolts - nothing is alright.
the ladies leave the queues without making a sale.
their men are faraway with the hun upon their tail.
children of soldiers cry with fear and hungry hearts,
dreaming of an ending to what's only just the start.
the blackened windows of the east end.
ready to fight but not ready to die.

the blackout is coming, the blackout is coming,
you better make up your mind.
the blackout is coming, the blackout is coming,
it's just another London night.

with our ration books and dirty looks over what might've been said,
the loosest lips sink the ships and they'll burn us in our beds.
mother's on the firewatch, she'll be there til half past two.
haven't seen my dad in months - he's a POW.
uncle harry is a banker, he's in the home guard;
armed with broomsticks, not with guns, who they gonna guard?
the blackened windows of the east end.
ready to fight but not ready to die.

rest easy, child - they're not gonna hurt you.
rest easy, child - i won't let them hurt you.
