Don't Mention the War
So here we go again
The old to and fro again
Backwards and forwards and forwards and backwards
You can say anything, just don't say that word
Play up and play the game
Changing to stay the same
Do you remember when? No I don't either
All this remembering we're none the wiser
It's time to let go and say
Don't mention the war
Don't talk of those days
What good is it for?
Don't mention the war
Let history lie
Kiss the old days goodbye
They're no help anymore
Don't mention the war
It may come as some surprise
I'm told that the sun will rise
Come and forget all the your wrongs and my wrongs
Live and let live and let bygones be bygones
Come join the great charade
Don't mention the marmalade
On with our helmets and back in the trenches
Sharing a joke with the Tommys and Frenchies
And just like before we'll say
Don't mention the war
Don't talk of those days
What good is it for?
Don't mention the war
Let history lie
Kiss the old days goodbye
They're no help anymore
No, don't mention the war
Don't mention the war
Don't talk of those days
What good is it for?
Don't mention the war
The old to and fro again
Backwards and forwards and forwards and backwards
You can say anything, just don't say that word
Play up and play the game
Changing to stay the same
Do you remember when? No I don't either
All this remembering we're none the wiser
It's time to let go and say
Don't mention the war
Don't talk of those days
What good is it for?
Don't mention the war
Let history lie
Kiss the old days goodbye
They're no help anymore
Don't mention the war
It may come as some surprise
I'm told that the sun will rise
Come and forget all the your wrongs and my wrongs
Live and let live and let bygones be bygones
Come join the great charade
Don't mention the marmalade
On with our helmets and back in the trenches
Sharing a joke with the Tommys and Frenchies
And just like before we'll say
Don't mention the war
Don't talk of those days
What good is it for?
Don't mention the war
Let history lie
Kiss the old days goodbye
They're no help anymore
No, don't mention the war
Don't mention the war
Don't talk of those days
What good is it for?
Don't mention the war
