the kids from station street
don´t play ´round here no more
she doesn´t exactly understand
but it´s something to do with the war
so she learned some tunes on piano
she´s very good for her age
but sometimes she pounds the keys
with her tiny fists in a rage
she doesn´t exactly understand
but it´s something to do with the war

like when aunt mary took her to o?riley´s caff
he said ?i can´t serve your kind in here
so don´t go coming back?
so she took to painting pictures
such a promising child
but sometimes the pictures she paints
are ugly and wild
she doesn´t exactly understand
but it´s something to do with the war

enstrumental

so she prays to the statues on sundays
she says ?please won´t you give me a sign
if there´s any sense to this
move your hand or wink an eye?
but the statues are cold and stony faced
like the soldiers by the door
she doesn´t understand anything at all
anything at all
