English Civil War (Johnny Comes Marching Home) - The Clash

When Johnny comes marching home again, hoorah, tra-la

He's coming by bus or underground, hoorah, tra-la

A woman's eye will shed a tear

To see his face so beaten in fear

It was just around the corner in the English Civil War

It was still at the stage of clubs and fists, hoorah, tra-la

When that well-known face got beaten to bits, hoorah, tra-la

Your face was blue in the light of the screen

As we watched the speech of an animal scream

The new party army was marching right over our heads

There you are, ha ha, I told you so, hoorah, tra-la

Says everybody that we know, hoorah, tra-la

But who hid a radio under the stairs

And who got caught out on their unawares

New party army came marching right up the stairs

When Johnny comes marching home again, hoorah, tra-la

Nobody understands it can happen again, hoorah, tra-la

The sun is shining and the kids are shouting loud

But you gotta know it's shining through a crack in the cloud

And the shadows keep on falling when Johnny comes marching home
