The War Is Over Lyrics - Kevin Coyne

War is over, baby, fighting's all done 

You can put away, baby, the big machine gun 

War is over, no use for fighting anymore 

Anymore, baby, no, no 

War is over, ain't no use for fighting anymore 

You can hang up your gloves, baby 

There ain't no champion no more 

You can go away, baby, lock your old back door 

Take a holiday somewhere, somewhere 

'Cross the sea, 'cross the sea, without me, baby 

Oh, the war is over, baby 

It's over, baby, for you and me, oh yeah 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, come on 

You can ground the aeroplane, put away the kites 

You can take everything about 

You can put away the search lights 

You don't need no camouflage 

You don't need, no, no, no, no, you need nothing, baby 

Oh, the war is over, baby 

Ain't no use fighting anymore 

Anymore, oh, it's all done now, oh, yes 

The war is over, baby, yeah, over, baby, yeah 

Over, baby, yeah, ain't no use fighting now 

Stuff away your machine gun 

Put it somewhere, I won't peek
