After The Ceasefire Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

After the ceasefire that they swore would last 

She had the bright idea "To hell with the past!" 

That's where love lay bleeding licking at its wounds 

The times were never changing sticking to their guns 

She thought she really meant it, that's the honest truth 

She felt it in her marrow, she felt it in her boots 

After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire. 

The man she married, he was something else 

He adored the chaos, smashing all the delft 

The man she married, he was something else 

He had the sudden notion it's time to call a truth 

It's time to lead a quiet life for the love of Jeeze 

Let's sit down together and engage in talks of peace 

After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.

He was Irish Catholic, she had English blood 

They met in a good restaurant, they gave the secret knot 

She ordered fish and lentils, he the kidney stew 

She played with bold impulses, wine turned his lips blue 

They left in separate taxis to the same address 

In case someone was watching, and there they did confess 

After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire. 

It was all the others' fault, they thought at any rate 

After the ceasefire to put an end to hate 

She was reaching for her knife, he a fork and spoon, 

They sat about devouring the poison of the moon 

Shared a fatal cigarette neither one would light 

Their breath was flame enough, nobody said goodnight 

After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.

After the ceasefire that they swore would last 

They had the strange idea of living in the past 

That's where love lies bleeding licking at its wounds 

The times are never changing sticking to their guns 

They sit about devouring the poison of the moon 

The times were never singing the same tune 

After the ceasefire 

After the ceasefire 

After the ceasefire 

After the ceasefire
