lyrics

Jimmy Biggs- The ‘40s

Reported a crime
To people who had nowhere to be in the ‘40s
No, just green and blue

We hung about,
Corners of the streets in the ‘40s
Flannelled our faces in threats

A rite too often snorted,
It was better left unsorted in the ‘40s

Compared far too much
To the way things expected to drag in the ‘40s
No, we spoke too clear

Bang, went the drug
Then tea became our lunch in the ‘40s
Rivers flowed both ways

Future and present courted,
Left the past aborted in the ‘40s

A smear of violet and good was defended
Hold high the season that the harvest was kept
Down came our boots and riots suspended
And did it for the reason a spider spins a web

Circle round the tree,
Amble through the wheat in the ‘40s
Gather what’s allowed

Dizzy, we all sit
And think a little bit about the ‘40s
Gather what’s allowed

A Gordian Knot
Of what we forgot about the ‘40s
