German soldiers helmet circa 1943 - Ian McNabb[00:00:00]
When I was just a young boy[00:00:15]
My mother said to me[00:00:18]
Would you like to come to town today[00:00:22]
And keep me company[00:00:26]
We walked around department stores[00:00:29]
She bought me lots of sweets[00:00:33]
She bought the things a family needs[00:00:37]
And bought herself a treat[00:00:41]
She asked me if I wanted anything at all[00:00:44]
As we walked outside a junk shop[00:00:52]
Just behind the old town hall[00:00:55]
So I looked into the window[00:00:59]
And displayed there to my glee[00:01:03]
Was a German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943[00:01:06]
I asked if I could have it[00:01:22]
And she looked horrified[00:01:25]
She must have thought about the war[00:01:29]
And all those who had died[00:01:33]
She said we'd ask my father[00:01:36]
And grabbed me by my hand[00:01:40]
So I went home to tell my Dad[00:01:44]
I knew he'd understand[00:01:48]
'Cos he fought in the desert[00:01:51]
It's what he had to do[00:01:55]
Imagine what it would be like[00:01:59]
If it were me or you[00:02:03]
He gave me ten pounds fifty[00:02:06]
The asking price you see[00:02:10]
For the German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943[00:02:14]
The years passed so quickly[00:02:28]
And nothing is the same[00:02:32]
And I've moved home so many times[00:02:36]
But noone is to blame[00:02:40]
I never thought about it[00:02:44]
I never had the time[00:02:47]
Playing this crazy rock and roll[00:02:51]
I nearly lost my mind[00:02:55]
But just the other evening[00:02:58]
Beneath the cellar stairs[00:03:02]
I banged my knee on something hard[00:03:06]
I gave a little curse[00:03:10]
I shone my torch into the dark[00:03:13]
And guess what I did see[00:03:17]
A German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943[00:03:23]
Thanks Mum and Dad for buying me[00:03:30]
This piece of history[00:03:33]
