[00:22.03]Captured Clandestine,
[00:26.63]Crawled into the light,
[00:30.32]Knew he was in for a shoe-in,
[00:35.77]Just wasn't to be his night.
[00:39.37]
[00:40.92]Dragged out of the frozen Rhine,
[00:45.15]For the Motherland,
[00:46.88]and the third reich,
[00:50.21]always good to be shoe in,
[00:55.88]when it's not to be your night,
[00:58.54]your night.
[00:59.50]
[00:59.77]Tred carefully,
[01:01.32]so carefully,
[01:02.83]on the drifting ice
[01:05.91]behind enemy lines,
[01:09.11]In 1939,
[01:11.34]for Germany,
[01:12.74]he sacrificed his life,
[01:16.13]caught behind enemy lines,

[01:29.30]
[01:31.56]Kids knee deep in rubble,
[01:35.82]London urchins grey with dust,
[01:40.25]Back of fout west in evacuation,
[01:44.94]the farmers life singing pleasent lies,
[01:47.30]far from the doodblebugs.
[01:49.71]
[01:50.55]Nana doll still remembers,
[01:55.43]leaving town in worn-out shoes,
[01:59.73]Now she's back out west,
[02:02.05]in sheltered accomodation,
[02:04.64]Homes for the old,
[02:06.51]where pills arent the only blues.
[02:09.22]
[02:09.50]Tred carefully,
[02:10.54]so carefully,
[02:12.09]on the drifting ice
[02:14.43]staring into the tv guide,
[02:16.74]In 2009,
[02:20.30]oh how it hurts me,
[02:21.78]I've only seen her twice
[02:24.35]since she went west for the second time
[02:28.08]since 1939.
