Southampton Dock Lyrics - Final Cut - Pink Floyd

They disembarked in '45 

And no one spoke and no one smiled 

There were too many spaces in the line 

Gathered at the cenotaph 

All agreed with hand on heart 

To sheath the sacrificial knives 

(Thats right) 

But now 

She stands upon Southampton dock 

With her handkerchief 

And her summer frock 

Clings to her wet body in the rain

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

In quiet desperation knuckles 

White upon the slippery reins 

She bravely waves the boys goodbye again 

Still the dark stain spreads between 

Their shoulder blades 

A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves 

When the fight was over 

We spent what they had made 

But in the bottom of our hearts 

We felt the final cut
