german soldiers helmet circa 1943 - Ian McNabb

When I was just a young boy

My mother said to me

Would you like to come to town today

And keep me company

We walked around department stores

She bought me lots of sweets

She bought the things a family needs

And bought herself a treat

She asked me if I wanted anything at all

As we walked outside a junk shop

Just behind the old town hall

So I looked into the window

And displayed there to my glee

Was a German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943

I asked if I could have it

And she looked horrified

She must have thought about the war

And all those who had died

She said we'd ask my father

And grabbed me by my hand

So I went home to tell my Dad

I knew he'd understand

'Cos he fought in the desert

It's what he had to do

Imagine what it would be like

If it were me or you

He gave me ten pounds fifty

The asking price you see

For the German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943

The years passed so quickly

And nothing is the same

And I've moved home so many times

But noone is to blame

I never thought about it

I never had the time

Playing this crazy rock and roll

I nearly lost my mind

But just the other evening

Beneath the cellar stairs

I banged my knee on something hard

I gave a little curse

I shone my torch into the dark

And guess what I did see

A German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943

Thanks Mum and Dad for buying me
