D G D
When I was 17
Em
I saw a magazine

It had those English Boys

When I was on my own

They moved into my town

And I just called them up

And they'd be there

In 1969

I listened to the songs

Read letters sent from Nam

Now peace and love were gone

The tired soldiers home

Gunned down the 70s

Why do you act the way you do?

Pack it up or pack it in
Em
There's no excuse
[Chorus]

Would we wake or take the ride

And again speak with one voice?

One week hung up superb

Said maybe not
