Belle & Sebastian - I Fought In A War

Belle & Sebastian

I Fought In A War

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it 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 round

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 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 man 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 didn't know where it would end
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think
Of the day beyond now, keep your 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 looks you gave when we were getting on
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man 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

Mirror lyrics:

This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on

I can see hope I can see light
There's trouble plenty in this hour, this day
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think
I fought in a war, and I didn't know where it would end

This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
