The Clash - English Civil War lyrics

When Johnny comes marchin'
Home again, hurrah, tala
He's comin' by bus or underground, hurrah
Tala a woman's eye will shed a tear
To see his face so beaten in fear
And it was just around the corner
In the English Civil War

It was still at the stage
Of clubs and fists, hurrah, tala
When that well known face got
Beaten to bit's, hurrah, tala
Your face was blue in the light of the screen
As watched the speech of an animal scream
New Party army was marchin'
Right over our heads

All right!

Ha, ha, I told you so, hurrah, tala
Says everybody that we know, hurrah, tala


But who hid a radio under the stairs?
Who got caught out unawares?
New Party army came marchin'
Right up the stairs

When Johnny comes marchin'
Home again, hurrah, tala
Nobody understands it can
Happen again, hurrah, tala
The sun is shinin' and the
Kids are shoutin' loud
Ya' got to know it's shinin' through
A crack in the cloud
And the shadows keep on fallin'
When Johnny comes marchin' home

Hurrah, Johnny oh yeah, Johnny

All the girls go oh get his coffin ready
Cause Johnny is comin' home
