I Joined the Foreign Legion Songtext
von The Divine Comedy

I joined the Foreign Legion one Thursday cold and wet
I think it was December
But you must remember I Joined the Foreign Legion to forget

I joined the Foreign Legion (La Legion Etranger)
One sultry day in July
Back when I still knew why I joined the Foreign Legion anyway


I joined the Foreign Legion, became a Legionnaire
We′d march to far off regions
To forts we'd be besieged in
Then one day I forgot why I was there

I joined the Foreign Legion somebody to forget
She said I′d find it easier if I had amnesia
Who she was I do not recollect
I joined the Foreign Legion to forget
