Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ The Clash - English civil war ------------------------------------------ When Johnny comes marching home again Heīs coming by bus or underground A womanīs eye will shed a tear To see his face so beaten in fear Anī it was just around the corner in the english civil war It was still at the stage of clubs and fists When that well-known face got beaten to bits Your face was blue in the light of the screen As we watched the speech of an animal scream The new party army was marching right over our heads Alright There you are, ha ha, I told you so Says everybody that we know But who hid a radio under the stairs Anī who got caught out on their unawares? When that new party army came marching right up the stairs When Johnny comes marching home again Nobody understands it can happen again The sun is shining anī the kids are shouting loud But you gotta know itīs shining through a crack in the cloud And the shadows keep falling when johnny comes marching home
