Between The Wars Lyrics - Live At The Union Chapel - Billy Bragg

I was a miner 

I was a docker 

I was a railway man 

Between the wars 

I raised a family 

In times of austerity 

With sweat at the foundry 

Between the wars 

 

I paid the union and as times got harder 

I looked to the government to help the working man 

And they brought prosperity down at the armory 

We're arming for peace, me boys 

Between the wars 

 

I kept the faith and I kept voting 

Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand 

For theirs is a land with a wall around it 

And mine is a faith in my fellow man 

Theirs is a land of hope and glory 

Mine is the green field and the factory floor 

Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers 

And mine is the peace we know 

Between the wars 

 

Call up the craftsmen 

Bring me the draftsmen 

Build me a path from cradle to grave 

And I'll give my consent 

To any government 

That does not deny a man a living wage
