Boscombe Armistice Songtext
von Blue Rose Code

The war is lost, I know there′ve been battles won
And I raise a white flag and put my hands up
And all my life, you know, I've fought my way
Now I try to see, I try to see if I can′t be a peaceful man

'Cause all my life I've been hiding
I was whistling in the dark
And I′ve been cruel, I′ve been a fool to me
I was waiting for my life to start

My darling would you say, say, say that you rue the day
You pledged your love, sugar, to my torn face


My granny said, "Boy, boy, boy, you'd cause war in an empty hoose"
And I was raised beneath her roof, I was raised
And if you know me then you know the truth, well, you′ve seen the proof

And all my life I've been hiding
I was whistling in the dark
And I′ve been cruel, I've been a fool to me
I was waiting for my life to start
I was waiting, waiting long

There′s no surprise, there's no surprise
There's no surprise, there′s no surprise
There′s no, no, no, no, no surprise (there's no surprise, there′s no surprise)
The ballad of, the ballad of Peckham Rye (there's no surprise, there′s no surprise)
There's no, no, no, no, no surprise (there′s no surprise, there's no surprise)
