Levellers - English civil war - remastered version lyrics

When Johnny comes marching home again, hurah tada He's coming by bus or underground, hurah tada The world no doubt will shed a tear To see his face so beaten in fear And it's just around the corner In the English civil war Still at the stage of clubs and fists, hurah tada When that well known face got beaten to bits, hurah tada 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, hurah tada Says everybody that we know, hurah tada But who hid the radio under the stairs And who got caught out on their unawares When that new party army Came marching right up the stairs When Johnny comes marching home again, hurah tada Nobody understands this can happen again, hurah tada The sun is shining and the kids are shouting loud But you've got to know it's shining through a crack in the cloud And the shadows keep on falling When Johnny comes marching home All the girls go oh Get his coffin ready 'Cause Johnny's coming home
