"Photographs of guns and flame
Scarlet skull and distant game
Bayonet and jungle grin
Nightmares dreamed by bleeding men
Lookouts tremble on the shore
But no man can find the war"

Annotation :

Et tout l'album Let England Shake, en fait, et Hope Six Demolition Project

"On Battleship Hill's caved in trenches,
A hateful feeling still lingers,
Even now, eighty years later.
Cruel nature.
Cruel, cruel nature."

"A tableau of the missing
Tied to the government building
8,000 sun-bleached photographs
Faded with the roses'

"I wish this night
Would never end
And on no-man's-land
The sun would not rise again"

"Car un enfant qui pleure,
Qu’il soit de n’importe où,
Est un enfant qui pleure,
Car un enfant qui meurt
Au bout de vos fusils
Est un enfant qui meurt.
Que c’est abominable d’avoir à choisir
Entre deux innocences!
Que c’est abominable d’avoir pour ennemis
Les rires de l’enfance!"

Et en français...
"Mais où vont tous les garçons
Du temps qui passe?
Mais où sont tous les garçons
Du temps passé?
Lorsque le tambour roula
Se sont faits petits soldats.
Qu'en saurons-nous un jour?
Quand saurons-nous? Un jour..."

"When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear

A working class hero is something to be"

"You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal"

"He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct"

"Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
Down here it's just winners and losers
And don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him"

"Here's to you, Nicola and Bart
Rest forever here in our hearts
The last and final moment is yours
That agony is your triumph." Et c'est tout.

"There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind"

"Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war."

"Why don't you ask the kids at Tienanmen square?
Was Fashion the reason why they were there?
They disguise it, hypnotize it
Television made you buy it"

Annotation :

"Hound dogs on my trail
School children sitting in jail
Black cat cross my path
I think every day's gonna be my last

Lord have mercy on this land of mine
We all gonna get it in due time
I don't belong here
I don't belong there
I've even stopped believing in prayer"

Annotation :

"Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees, oh

There have been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will"

Annotation :

Coup de coeur du moment!
"L'avoine est déjà germée
As-tu rentré le blé?
Cette année les vaches ont fait
Des hectolitres de lait

Petit train
Où t'en vas-tu?
Train de la mort
Mais que fais-tu?
Le referas-tu encore?"
