The Troubles Lyrics - Xtc

Well hush my children don't you cry 

The troubles will soon all be over 

The tears that swell in every eye 

Will fall to the ground and bring clover 

The soldiers are only teenage boys 

The same as in durban or dover 

So rein aside all your warring toys 

The troubles will soon all be over 

Well hush my children go to sleep 

The troubles will soon all be over 

Their bombs will form a rusting heap 

For flowers and fern to grow over 

Their leaders are only drunk with fear 

They wouldn't do this be they sober 

And when they drink our friendship clear 

The troubles will soon all be over
