Lyrics for English Civil War by The Clash
Songwriters: Mellor, John (Arr); Jones, Mick (Arr)
Alright, Johnny
As watched the speech of an animal scream
Ha, ha, I told you so, hurrah, tala
You face was blue in the light of the screen
And it was just ‘round the corner in the English civil war
Who got caught out unawares?
Oh oh oh
But who hid a radio under the stairs?
And the shadow keeps fallin' when Johnny comes marchin' home
The new party army was marchin' right over our heads, all right
When that well-known face got beaten to bits, hurrah, tala
When Johnny comes marchin' home again, hurrah, tala
The sun is shinnin' and the kids are shoutin' loud
But you gotta know it’s shinnin' thought a crack in the cloud
A woman’s eye will shed a tear
To see his face so beaten in fear
It was still at the stage of clubs and fists, hurrah, tala
[Incomprehensible]
Nobody understands it can happen again, hurrah, tala
All the towns go
The new party army came marchin' right over our heads
Okay, Johnny
Says, "Everybody that we know, hurrah, tala"
