lyrics

What did you do in the war?
Did you turn a contoured cheek?
Did you never bat a lash,
Or raise a brow which was on fleek?

What did you do in the war?
Did you write to The Gazette?
Did you catch the local hooligans
Who stole your bird-bath yet?

What did you in the war?
Did you smile and bite your tongue?
What words can stay the rope,
As the innocents are hung?

What did you do in the war?
Did you fight for common sense?
Is the red rose still sung of
In the past or present tense?

What did you do in the war?

What did you do in the war?
Nail your colours to the mast?
'Never Kissed a Tory',
Well did anybody ask?

What did you do in the war?
Did you vow to take a stand?
Four syllable democracy,
There's three in En-Ger-Land

What did you do in the war?
Did you love the bairns to death?
If this is global warming,
Why are faces frozen stiff?

What did you do in the war?
Lands End to John O'Groats
Albert Square to Coronation Street -
The water's at their throats

What did you do in the war?

What did you do in the war?
Did you whip your trousers down
At the mention of 'Jerusalem'
Or promise of the Crown?

What did you do in the war?
Did you pull a party trick?
Banana Socialism
That's as sweet as it is thick...

What did you do in the war...?
