I Fought In A War
Performed by Belle and Sebastian

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it´s wasn´t very long
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying around

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet you´re making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
Round his neck, well it won´t hurt to think of you as if you´re waiting for
This letter to arrive because I´ll be here quite a while

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it´s wasn´t very long
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet you´re making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
Round his neck, well it won´t hurt to think of you as if you´re waiting for
This letter to arrive because I´ll be here quite a while

I fought in a war, and I didin´t know where it would end
It stretched before me infinitely, I coudn´t really think
Of the day beyond now, keep you head down pal
There´s trouble plenty in this hour, this day
I can see hope I can see light

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet you´re making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
Round his neck, well it won´t hurt to think of you as if you´re waiting for
This letter to arrive because I´ll be here quite a while
