Between the Wars Lyrics by Croy and the Boys

Of Course They Do

2021

[Verse 1]
I was a miner
I was a docker
And I was a railwayman
Between the wars

[Verse 2]
I raised a family
In times of austerity
With sweat in the foundry
Between the wars

[Verse 3]
I paid the union
And as times got harder
I looked to the government
To help the working man

[Verse 4]
But they brought prosperity
Down at the armory
We’re arming for peace, my friends
Between the wars

[Verse 5]
But I kept the faith
And I kept voting
Not for the iron fist
But for the helping hand

[Verse 6]
For theirs is a land
With a wall around it
And mine is a faith
In my fellow man

[Verse 7]
Theirs is a land
Of hope and glory
Mine is thе green fields
And the factory floors

[Verse 8]
Theirs arе the skies
All dark with bombers
And mine is the peace
We knew between the wars

[Verse 9]
Call up the craftsmen
Bring me the draughtsmen
And build me a path from
Cradle to grave

[Verse 10]
And I’ll give my consent
To any government
That does not deny a man
A living wage

[Verse 11]
Call up the young men
Never to fight again
And ring back the banners
From the days gone by

[Verse 12]
Sweet moderation
Heart of this nation
Desert us not, we are
Between the wars
