They Were There Songtext
von Nik Kershaw

Under a Simpsons′ sky
He swims away from naked eye
A tiny dot upon the ocean
Dunkirk, El Alamein
He never spoke of it again
He never showed when he was broken

He was there, all spick and span
You wouldn't find a better man
Her very own Sir Lancelot
He was there
Then he was not


She waits upon the beach
As far away as she can reach
She pulls us in the right direction
She sings her songs of prayer
And swaddles us in Tupperware
All sealed in for our protection

She was there, all smiles and pearls
The best for him in all the world
And though it took all she had got
She was there
Then she was not

Seems like an age ago
Feels like an age ago, ooh, oh-oh-oh

They were there to hold us up
To pour us from their loving cup
Through thick and thin, no matter what
They were there
They were there
They were there
Then they were not
