Lyrics for 'Short Memories' by 'Graham Parker'
Pre>(1992 By Graham Parker, Submitted By Kirk Anderson) (kanderso@wheatonma.edu)
D A
They Took Their Kids In Their Teenage Years
D G
Fitted Them Out With Combat Gear,
D A Bm G
Filled Their Hearts With Mortal Fear And Sent Them Away
D A
Some Came Home Their Pants In Creases
D G
Some Came Home In Bits And Pieces
D A G D
The President Made A Lot Of Speeches And Went Fishing For The Day

D A D G
'cause They Have Short Memories, They Forget It All So Quickly
D a bm G
They Have Short Memories, Now It's Gone
D A D g
They Have Short Memories, It Disappears Just Like Quicksilver
D A G D
They Have Short Memories, Now It's Gone

My Daddy Was In Nicosea, Egypt And North Korea
He Came Back To A Good Career, Shovelling Coal
I Was Just The Village Lout I Never Got My Finger Out
I Never Wanted For Anything Still I Broke And Entered And Stole

(bridge)
Em
You Can't Stop A Train Or Catch The Rain Drops
D A G
As They Come Falling
Em
Sure There'll Be Another War
D A
Sure As Sure The Call-up Will Come Calling

D A
They Took Their Kids In Their Teenage Years
D G
Gave Them A God That They Could Fear
D A Bm G
Said They Could Kill But Not Drink Beer
Bm G
And Sent Them Away
D A
Some Came Home In A Body Bag
D G
Some Came Home Wrapped In A Flags
D A G D
And On Each Toe There Hung A Tag Saying There'll Be More Someday

(repeat First Chorus)
G Em D
...now It's Gone, Now It's Gone, Now It's Gone /pre>
