[00:01.12] Pete Doherty - 1939 Returning
[00:08.48]
[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,
[01:18.61] in 1939.
[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.
[02:39.55]
