What

He'd arrive a trifle late

Forgot about the new estate

Forgot to bring the ruby car

His wounds all swollen black as tar

The news he had to fight

Would be of no delight

For her bright garden dress

"Oh, please spare me

With your distress!", she said



"Honey, let's go to the park

I've heard they've built a new

Racing track there

I know - I know it's still dark

But we could have a fine talk there

I stole flowers at the market

And they were just for you

They'll never wrap me in a carpet

They're meant to bloom in june

They were addressing no one

Just shooting around

It's been a long time darling

Since I got shot down



It's been a long time, it's been...

Since I got shot down

Working for the family, just for the...

Since I got shot down
