rumours of war
Singer:billy bragg
there are soldiers marching on the common today
they were there again this evening
they paced up and down like sea birds on the ground
before the storm clouds gathering
i must buy whatever tinned food is left on the shelves
they are testing the air raid sirens
they've filled up the blood banks and emptied the beds
at the hospital and he asylum
i saw a man build a shelter in his garden today
and we stood there idly chatting
