Lewisham, 1940

from Splendid Isolation by Henry Bateman

lyrics

Radio goes dead
I’m frozen in my bed
Can hear the sound of guns
and engines overhead

Bombs are falling close
The walls begin to glow
My head is full of noise
as I start to taste the smoke

The nurses take me down
to a safer room below

Mummy I’m scared
I wanna come home
I wanna go to school
Mummy please come and get me
Come and get me
Please come and get me

There’s one just outside
I hear the nurses start to cry
Oh when they’re really near
You don’t hear them
You just feel it deep inside
Oh Mummy please just save me from this hell

Mummy I’m scared
Wanna come home to you
Wanna go to school
Mummy please come and get me
Come and get me
Please come and get me

Are you scared too Mum?
Are you alright?
Mummy are you still out there?
