The Book Club - "Sad Start"

What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day.

What a sad start to the day,
They're hanging another this morning,
A boy of only fifteen,
Though they claim he's a threat to the nation,
And what it has become;
Indoctrination, immaculate uniforms,
Still they'll never know,
How it can feel when you think for yourself.

And still the brave body falls,
Like a heavy stone thrown into the water,
For all the people to see,
That our behaviour is not tolerated,
But still, we may succeed,
For their tanks and their cannons cannot run on water,

But out in the forest,
The trees will disguise,
So stoke up the fire and then,
The edelweiss pirates survive

Alas I digress,
I cannot ignore the law of this melody,
That skips through my head,
As a soldier boy runs home to his sweetheart.

And out in the forest,
The trees will disguise,
So stoke up the fire and then,
The edelweiss pirates survive.

What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day.

What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day,
What a sad start to the day.

The Book Club Sheffield, UK

The Book Club aren't what you want, and aren't really what you need either. In fact, what you need, you never want, and what you want, you never need. But when winter begins to thaw and the electric curtain falls, what you want and what you need come closer than ever before. Their lips almost touch. That's where The Book Club will meet you. Legs akimbo. ... more
