Blue Rose Code Boscombe Armistice
[Verse]
The war is lost and I know there've been battles won
And I raise a white flag and I put my hands up
And all my life, you know, I've fought my way
Now I try to see, I try to see, if I can't be a peaceful man
[Chorus]
'Cause all my life I've been hiding
I was whistling in the dark
And I've been cruel, I've been a fool to me
I was waiting for my life to start
[Verse]
My darling would you say say say that you rue the day
You pledged your love, sugar, to my torn face
My granny said boy boy boy you'd cause war in an empty hoose
And I was raised beneath her roof, I was raised
And if you know me then you know the truth, well you've seen the proof
[Chorus]
And all my life I've been hiding
I was whistling in the dark
And I've been cruel, I've been a fool to me
I was waiting for my life to start
I was waiting, waiting long
[Outro]
There's no surprise, there's no surprise
There's no surprise, there's no surprise
There's no no no no no surprise
The ballad of, ballad of Peckham Rye
There's no no no no no surprise
