The Music Box - Ed Harcourt[00:00:00]
Written by:Ed Harcourt[00:00:01]
The music box[00:00:15]
Is all that's left in the empty house[00:00:17]
Must've left it when they moved out[00:00:22]
In a hurry to flee the town[00:00:26]
Armoured tanks[00:00:32]
Broke through all of the soldier's ranks[00:00:34]
You can be sure they weren't shooting blanks[00:00:38]
From bodies laid out on the ground[00:00:42]
There's a song your father had sung[00:00:49]
When you were just knee high[00:00:52]
Now a soldier plays the same tune[00:00:57]
From the toy you left behind[00:01:00]
Something to remind you[00:01:05]
Something to remind you[00:01:09]
Burnt to black[00:01:15]
There's a face you don't recognise[00:01:18]
Just a doll with hollow eyes[00:01:22]
And a feeling you can't describe[00:01:26]
In factories[00:01:31]
Toys are made by the companies[00:01:34]
Who create our killing machines[00:01:38]
So the planet can rest at ease[00:01:42]
There's a story you had to hear[00:01:48]
When you couldn't sleep at all[00:01:52]
Now the pages are burning in some[00:01:56]
Sad unholy war[00:02:00]
Something to remind you[00:02:04]
Something to remind you[00:02:09]
Something to remind you[00:02:13]
The ones you left behind you[00:02:17]
Something to remind you[00:02:21]
Something to remind you[00:02:25]
Something to remind you[00:02:29]
The ones you left behind you[00:02:33]
The music box[00:02:55]
Plays a song that I used to love[00:02:58]
But now I can't remember what it was[00:03:03]
For my memory has faded[00:03:08]
