English Civil War Lyrics - Levellers

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
