lirik lagu ian mcnabb - german soldiers helmet circa 1943
when i was just a young boy, my mother said to me
c g d g
would you like to come to town today, and keep me
company
c g d g
we walked around department stores, she bought me lots
of sweets
c g d em
she bought the things a family needs, and bought
herself a treat
c g d g
she asked me if i wanted anything at all
c g d g
as we walked outside a junk shop, just behind the old
town hall
c g d g
so i looked into the window, and displayed there to my
glee

c g d g
i asked if i could have it, and she looked horrified
c g d g
she must have thought about the war, and all those who
had died
c g d g
she said we’d ask my father, and grabbed me by my hand
c g d em
so i went home to tell my dad, i knew he’d understand
c g d g
cos he fought in the desert, it’s what he had to do
c g d g
imagine what it would be like, if it were me or you
c g d g
so he gave me ten pounds fifty, the asking price you
see
c g d g

c g d g
the years have p-ssed so quickly, and nothing is the
same
c g d g
and i’ve moved home so many times, but noone is to
blame
c g d g
i never thought about it, i never had the time
c g d em
playing this crazy rock and roll, i nearly lost my mind
c g d g
but just the other evening, beneath the cellar stairs
c g d g
i banged my knee on something hard, i gave a little
curse
c g d g
i shone my torch into the dark, and guess what i did
see…
c g d g
a german soldiers helmet circa 1943
c g d c
thanks mum and dad for buying me this piece of history
