Blitz Babies Lyrics

I remember running as the siren screamed

Bedding down in a bunker on the warden's knee

Trying to play it cool and act my age

As the war birds swooped and the blitzkrieg raged

But you can't really blame it on Friday night

If the radio's dead and they've doused the lights

Old Churchill told us we'll stay free

Just lay the blame on Germany

Blitz babies born to be crazy

Kids too young to fight

Spitfires hummin', Messerschmidt's a comin'

Doodlebugs dancin' on the West End nights

Blitz babies England made us

Listen to your labour lies

Now we're older ships on our shoulders

Working men spit into the unions eyes

But you can't really blame it on Friday night

When the blinds are down for the comin' fight

My old man's crowing through his cockney pride

Sayin' just remember boy, God's on our side

Chased through the rubble as the buildings shook

For breaking into houses stealing rasion books

The hard hats tanned us, they took our names

As we whistled at the WAF's and watched the flames
