Current song lyrics
The strange young man who comes to me <br />A soldier on a three day spree <br />He needs one night's cheap ecstasy <br />And a woman's arms to hide him <br />He greets me with a courtly bow <br />And hides his pain by acting proud <br />He drinks too much and he laughs too loud <br />How can I deny him. <br /><br />Let us dance beneath the moon <br />I'll sing to you 'Claire de Lune' <br />The morning always comes too soon <br />But tonight the war is over <br />He speaks to me in schoolboy French <br />Of a soldiers life inside a trench <br />Of the look of death and the ghastly stench <br />I do my best to please him <br /><br />He puts two roses in a vase <br />Two roses sadly out of place <br />Like the gallant smile on his haggard face <br />Playfully I tease him <br />Hold me neath the Paris skies <br />Let's not talk of how or why <br />Tomorrow's soon enough to die <br />But tonight the war is over <br />We make love too hard too fast <br />He falls asleep his face a mask <br />He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask <br />I put my arms around him <br /><br />They die in the trenches and they die in the air <br />In Belguim and France the dead are everywhere <br />They die so so fast there's no time to prepare <br />A decent grave to surround them <br />Old world glory old world fame <br />The old worlds gone gone up in flames <br />Nothing will ever be the same <br />And nothing lasts forever <br />Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how <br />And there's nothing nothing that can save him now <br />There's always another with the same funny bow <br />And who am I to deny them <br /><br />Lux aeterna Luce-at e-is <br />Domine cum sanctic tu-is in aeternum <br />Qui-a pius es <br />Requiem aeternaum dona e-is Domine <br />Qui-a pius es <br />Requiem aeternaum dona e-is Domine <br />Qui-a pius es <br />Et lux perpetua luce-at- e-is Cum sancris tu-is in <br />Aeternum qui-api-us es <br />Tonight the war is over
