Lyrics Roger Waters – The Anderson Shelter
Text:
Woman
«It’s funny to think there’s no shelters this time. We had an
old Anderson in the garden. I can see it now. We had stertians
growing all over it, and we painted the front green. Painted it
looked quite pretty. Next door grew cabbages on theirs.
Man
«Yes, we had a Morrison. I used to sleep in it. Mmmm. I stuck
pin-up girls all over the inside. Betty Grabel, Ann Shelton, Patricia
Rock. The roof got all smoky, ’cause I used to read in bed with a candle.»
Woman
«Yes, it was nice at the war, really. The shelters, the blackouts, cups of tea…»
Man
«The A.R.P., the evacuees, London kids seeing cows for the first time….»
Woman
«Old Churchill on the wires…»
Man
«Those were the days.»
