[Verse 1]
We were heroes then and the girls were all pretty
And a uniform was a lucky charm
It bought you the key to the city
We used to dance, Al Bowlly would sing
"Love Is the Sweetest Thing"
Al Bowlly's in heaven, I'm in limbo now
[Verse 2]
I gave my youth to king and country
What's my country done for me
But sentenced me to misery?
I traded my helmet and my parachute
For a pair of crutches and a demob suit
Al Bowlly's in heaven, I'm in limbo now
[Bridge]
Hard times, oh, hard hard times
Hostels and missions and dosser's soup lines
Can't close me eyes on a bench or a bed
For the sound of some battle raging in my head
[Verse 3]
Old friends, oh, you lose so many
You get run around all over town
The wear and the tear just drives you down
And St. Mungo's with his dirty old sheets
Beats standing all day down on Scarborough Street
Al Bowlly's in heaven, I'm in limbo now
We were heroes then and the girls were all pretty
And a uniform was a lucky charm
It bought you the key to the city
We used to dance, Al Bowlly would sing
"Love Is the Sweetest Thing"
Al Bowlly's in heaven, I'm in limbo now
[Verse 2]
I gave my youth to king and country
What's my country done for me
But sentenced me to misery?
I traded my helmet and my parachute
For a pair of crutches and a demob suit
Al Bowlly's in heaven, I'm in limbo now
[Bridge]
Hard times, oh, hard hard times
Hostels and missions and dosser's soup lines
Can't close me eyes on a bench or a bed
For the sound of some battle raging in my head
[Verse 3]
Old friends, oh, you lose so many
You get run around all over town
The wear and the tear just drives you down
And St. Mungo's with his dirty old sheets
Beats standing all day down on Scarborough Street
Al Bowlly's in heaven, I'm in limbo now
