The Music Box
Lyricist:Ed Harcourt
The music box is all that's left in the empty house Must've left it when they moved out In a hurry to flee the town
Armoured tanks broke through all of the soldier's ranks You can be sure they weren't shooting blanks From bodies laid out on the ground
There's a song your father had sung When you were just knee high Now a soldier plays the same tune From the toy you left behind
Something to remind you Something to remind you
Burnt to black there's a face you don't recognize Just a doll with hollow eyes And a feeling you can't describe
In factories, toys are made by the companies Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Who create our killing machines So the planet can rest at ease
There's a story you had to hear When you couldn't sleep at all Now the pages are burning In some sad unholy war
Something to remind you Something to remind you Something to remind you The ones you left behind you
Something to remind you Something to remind you Something to remind you The ones you left behind you
The music box plays a song that I used to love But now I can't remember what it was For my memory has faded
