I Joined The Foreign Legion (to Forget) Lyrics - Divine Comedy

I joined the Foreign Legion one Thursday cold and wet 

I think it was December 

But you must remember I Joined the Foreign Legion to forget 

I joined the Foreign Legion (La Legion Etranger) 

One sultry day in July 

Back when I still knew why I joined the Foreign Legion anyway 

I joined the Foreign Legion, became a Legionnaire 

We'd march to far off regions 

To forts we'd be besieged in 

Then one day I forgot why I was there

I joined the Foreign Legion somebody to forget 

She said I'd find it easier if I had amnesia 

Who she was I do not recollect 

I joined the Foreign Legion to forget
