lirik lagu elisabeth lutyens - refugee blues
say this city has ten million souls
some are living in mansions, some are living in holes:
yet there’s no place for us, my dear, yet there’s no place for us
once we had a country and we thought it fair
look in the atlas and you’ll find it there:
we cannot go there now, my dear, we cannot go there now
in the village churchyard there grows an old yew
every spring it blossoms anew:
old passports can’t do that, my dear, old passports can’t do that
the consul banged the table and said
“if you’ve got no passport you’re officially dеad”:
but we are still alive, my dеar, but we are still alive
went to a committee; they offered me a chair;
asked me politely to return next year:
but where shall we go to~day, my dear, but where shall we go to~day?
came to a public meeting; the speaker got up and said;
“if we let them in, they will steal our daily bread”:
he was talking of you and me, my dear, he was talking of you and me
thought i heard the thunder rumbling in the sky;
it was hitler over europe, saying, “they must die”:
o we were in his mind, my dear, o we were in his mind
saw a poodle in a jacket fastened with a pin
saw a door opened and a cat let in:
but they weren’t german jews, my dear, but they weren’t german jews
went down the harbour and stood upon the quay
saw the fish swimming as if they were free:
only ten feet away, my dear, only ten feet away
walked through a wood, saw the birds in the trees;
they had no politicians and sang at their ease:
they weren’t the human race, my dear, they weren’t the human race
dreamed i saw a building with a thousand floors
a thousand windows and a thousand doors:
not one of them was ours, my dear, not one of them was ours
stood on a great plain in the falling snow;
ten thousand soldiers marched to and fro:
looking for you and me, my dear, looking for you and me
