"The Legionnaire's Lament Lyrics"

Schundersong Lyrics
du hast mich so oft angespuckt, geschlagen und getreten das war nicht sehr nett von dir, ich hatte nie darum gebeten deine Freunde haben applaudiert, sie fanden es ganz toll wenn du mich verm?belt hast,


i'm a legionnaire
camel in disrepair
hoping for a frigidaire
to come passing by

i am on reprieve
lacking my joie de vivre
missing my gay paris
in this desert dry

and i wrote my girl
told her i would not return
i've terribly taken a turn
for the worse now I fear

its been a year or more
since they shipped me to this foreign shore
fighting
Light The Black Flame Lyrics
Darkness fall over my cold northland Winds of purest ice Blow over the fatherland of forest and might Light dies down, as it's death is at hand Coniferous Forest borne down by snow in a foreign war
so far away from my home

if only summer rain would fall
on the houses and the boulevards
and the sidewalk bagatelles, its like a dream

with the roar of cars
and the lulling of the cafe bars
the sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
lord I don't know if i'll ever be back again

medicating in the sun
pinched doses of laudanum

of my homeland

curses to this mirage!
a bottle of ancient shiraz
a smattering of distant applause
is ringing in my poor ears

on the old left bank
my baby in a charabanc
riding up the width and length
of the Champs Elysees

if only summer rain would fall
on the houses and the boulevards
and the sidewalk bagatelles, its like a dream

with the roar of ca
Going To The Country (3:12) Lyrics
(From the album "Bruce Cockburn") Look out the window, what do I see? cows hangin' out under spreading trees. ZOOM! they're gone behind the sign white letters pointing to the long white liners
and the lulling of the cafe bars
the sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
lord I don't know if i'll ever be back again

if only summer rain would fall
on the houses and the boulevards
and the sidewalk bagatelles, its like a dream

with the roar of cars
and the lulling of the cafe bars
the sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
lord I don't know if i'll ever be back again..
