Post War Lyrics - Live In America - Jack Bruce

Nothing was good or bad enough 

They never had enough in stock 

When the feast was on the lawn 

The birds had picked it clean 

And then gone away 

We used to walk the nights of mystery 

Once we would swim the length of the sea 

No one was weak or strong enough 

They did not have the men to do the job 

When the snow was in the fields 

We kept our front eyes peeled For oranges

We used to swim the days of mystery 

Once we would walk the length of the sea 

They send the people home in baskets 

They gave the pieces to the country 

They told them long stories 

Made the children postmen 

In among the chimneys 

Nowhere was young or gay enough 

They had sold out too many golden souls 

When the sun was in the trees 

The woodmen came to take 

Their frozen fees 

We used to walk the fields of mystery 

Once we would swim the length of the sea 

Photos 

They drove the broken home in cages 

Gave all the green paint to the railways 

They told them long stories 

Made their children weddings 

In among the chimneys...
