Subject: Post war holdouts

lyrics

You’ll never take me alive
I’ll keep on fighting like it’s 1945
They’re dropping leaflets on me now they’re not bombs
They say “The war is over” but they’re wrong

There’s groups of people out there calling my name
They’re trying to trick me but I know their game
They’ll do anything to get me to come
I hear a voice
Sounds like my Mum

And they’re saying…

Hey soldier
We bloody told ya
Your war is over
So come on home

I’m a man who knows he knows what is what
I’ve been living on cows and coconut
I steal their animals and burn all their rice
29 years disrupting enemy supplies

I’ve seen my unit whittled down to just one
But a guerrilla never lonely when he’s got his gun
And I’ll be ready when the victory comes
Standing to attention in my uniform

But they keep saying…

Hey soldier
We bloody told ya
Your war is over
So come on home


Second lieutenant?
Major? I can’t believe…can’t believe you’re here major.
At ease soldier. It’s been 29 years.
Do you want a coconut?
No, I don’t want a coconut. I want you to listen to me very carefully.
We have to act quickly. There’s a big pile of enemy rice.
Enemy what?
Enemy cows!
Listen!
Massive enemy cows.
Cows aren’t bad.
They’re massive!
Shhh. Me. Listen! It’s over. Your war is over.

Ohfdgjdhoihgg…BOMBS!

Its over! (What is?)
Your war is over. (What?)
I said it’s over.
Come on come.

Its over.
My war is over.
Now its over.
I’m going home.

about

Intercontinental Music Lab Cambridge, UK

Since 2008, the Intercontinental Music Lab has produced eight albums. They’ve all been made in the same way. We came up with a concept or theme for an album, then asked people to choose subjects around that theme and compose some music. The theme for our first album was science. The theme for our latest album is Spielberg. Enjoy! ... more
