This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight | |
And dont let her go with the fork in the road | |
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms | |
Let us not be defeated, even though we cant win | |
Cause I see theres a crack in the walls of the mess that were in | |
And let us not be divided, I cannot make it alone | |
But Ive got a heart full of somebody calling me home | |
And she says: | |
This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight | |
And dont let her go with the fork in the road | |
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms | |
Ive never been one for fighting, | |
Yeah, but Im not about to lay down | |
Cause I still have my face (faith?) in the dust of this dirty old town | |
And I wouldnt have it all easy, so come on, let the hard times begin | |
And lets kick through the crack of the walls of the mess that were in | |
And I say: | |
This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight | |
And dont let her go with the fork in the road | |
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms | |
Do you remember old Danny? | |
Its been so long since he died | |
Well, he was just a man who loved one woman for all of his life | |
And under hospital blankets, family stood round his bed, | |
He was too weak to talk, but he lifted his eyes and they said: | |
Darling, be strong; even though Ill be gone | |
Still I want you to know your love has meant everything, | |
Now pick up your voice and sing cause: | |
This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight | |
And dont let her go with the fork in the road | |
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms | |
Well this is a call to arms, hold your darling tight | |
And dont let her go with the fork in the road | |
Well this is a call to arms, yeah now this is a call to arms | |
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms |
This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight | |
And don t let her go with the fork in the road | |
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms | |
Let us not be defeated, even though we can t win | |
Cause I see there s a crack in the walls of the mess that we re in | |
And let us not be divided, I cannot make it alone | |
But I ve got a heart full of somebody calling me home | |
