Proclaimers, The - I Know Lyrics
You'd lay your life down for this country
Lay it down for fools like me
I know, I know, I know you would
You'd make the ultimate sacrifice
I know, I know, I know you would
Cos the line you come from stretches back
In an unbroken chain other countries lack
Every single corner of the world
Has seen our banners being unfurled
You've won and lost and battled on
Whether the cause was right or wrong
God knows what you do to the enemy
He'd lay his life down for his country
He'd like to kill fools like me
I know, I know, I know he would
He'd make the ultimate sacrifice
Blow himself to paradise
I know, I know, I know he would
And the line he comes from stretches back
In an unbroken chain other countries lack
In the farthest corners of the world
Where he's watched our banners being unfurled
He's won and lost and battled on
Whether his cause was right or wrong
He's this generation's enemy
And he scares the living hell out of me
No more war? It's not gonna happen
Not while there's men
willing to fight in them
No more war? It's not gonna happen
Not while there's patriotism,
Not while there's patriotism,
No more war? It's not gonna happen
Not while there's some saying
That this is the last one,
No more war? It's not gonna happen
Not while religious nuts
Are willing to spill their guts
And the line we come from stretches back
In an unbroken chain no country lacks
To the darkest corner of a cave
Where there's a weapon made to stave
Or gouge or choke or cut and kill
In a hundred years we'll be fighting still
I know, I know, I know,
I know we will.

They have nice tushes!
Hi! I'm glad that you like my posting. ;) I'm not going to put "You Meant it Then" soon, because my point is to put those songs I'm missing here on yt. By the way, I love "You Meant it Then", espacially the live performance from Hogmanay 2003 - it's awsome. I think, you've heard it before. ;) My next posting will be probably something from Persevere or Restless Soul. ;)
I'm sorry for my bad English. ;)
Thanks a lot for your postings, Aqueendor, we all love The Proclaimers and their music!
This one is beautiful, as it is, particularly for me, "You meant it then". Maybe your next posting?
Cheers
Such an amazing song! I love it since I heard it for the first time.
Probably their best song.
