Stephen Duffy And The Lilac Time - Aldermaston lyrics

Easter Sunday came late that year We thought the future would disappear The bomb would hasten and not deter Our crucifixion - nuclear I was born along the Aldermaston March Now I'm older and still marching through the dark For democracy will you walk with me? At least we'll know we're not alone It was a Cold War but they were lying That AIDS and Heroin would see us dying Industrial terror was the crime They k**ed the world before it's time I was born along the Aldermaston March Now I'm older and still marching through the dark For morality will you walk with me? At least we'll know we're not alone In your bedroom where you prayed We kissed, we made love and then we laid Smoking Gauloises and drinking pop How could our lives ever stop? We were born along the Aldermaston March Now we're older and still marching through the dark For democracy will you walk with me? At least we'll know we're not alone When Franco died the shops in Barcelona ran out of champagne And I was born under a peace sign sheltering from the hard rain Our Vietnam. Afghanistan. Our Luther King dreamt nothing Ashes to ashes, dust to dust If the bombs don't get you, the fall out must This overcrowded Earth is small But it's better than no Earth, no Earth at all We were born along the Aldermaston March Now we're older and still marching through the dark For morality will you walk with me? At least we'll know we're not alone
