I know that you’re out there    Born ready, but on the decline    To keep you from my thoughts    When we first broke the line       Do you remember like I remember?    Lost pursuits of excellence    The glory of the crowd       Lives of imperialists    Leave me with aching wrists    So no wonder you frown    When you’re two world wars down       So when the dark times come    Well I will sing you a good time song       I’m pretending that it’s ending    But it kills me to act so strong       Just to gaze in your eyes    Makes all the difference to me.       Just be ready my angel    Be ready when I call    I’ve been re reading letters    They were moving warm but bitter    And I cried right through them all       Oooh ooooh    The days go so slow    Ooooh oooh    We’ll never get to heaven with the artillery in tow       So when the dark times come    It might warm your heart to know    That I went to the crossroads    But the devil never showed       They can stick their war, I’m leaving now    Makes all the difference to me       I’m hoping if you know where I am    Send your heart in a telegram    I’m praying that you know where I am       Be upstairs ready my angel    Be ready when I call    And then my angel I’ll be ready too    And I will catch you when you fall       Do you remember like I remember    All the dirty things you said?    Do you remember like I remember    Or was it all in my head?       So when the dark times come    Well I will song you a good time song       I’m pretending that it’s ending    But it kills me to act so strong    To gaze in your eyes    Makes all the difference to me       So    Who’s got the clap    Who’s got the clap    Give yourself a clap now
