I fought in a war

En deilig helg med Aidan er over. Vi kom oss aldri til mørkerommet og jeg kom meg aldri på tangokurs, men det kommer alltids en helg til. Tror vi trengte å ta det det pent en liten stund og hygge oss sammen. Spise French toast til brunsj i dag morges også, det var nydelig faktisk!

I kveld var vi hos Pete og så Society en særdeles left-wing film fra 80-tallet. Laget middag der også, det var hyggelig. Aidan og jeg gikk sammen til Fairview Footbridge og så dro han hjem. Det er rart å tenke på at det tar omtrent like lang tid å ta bussen ut til Clonsilla som det tar fra Halden til Oslo med tog. I morgen er det atter en dag.

Hører på Belle&Sebastian fordi det er så deilige å høre på. Minner meg om da jeg var noen ting.

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while

I fought in a war, and I didnt know where it would end
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldnt really think
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day
I can see hope I can see light

And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
