Lyrics The Troubles (home demo) - XTC
Well
hush
my
children
don't
you
cry
The
troubles
will
soon
all
be
over
The
tears
that
swell
in
every
eye
Will
fall
to
the
ground
and
bring
clover
The
soldiers
are
only
teenage
boys
The
same
as
in
Durban
or
Dover
So
rein
aside
all
your
warring
toys
The
troubles
will
soon
all
be
over
Well
hush
my
children
go
to
sleep
The
troubles
will
soon
all
be
over
Their
bombs
will
form
a
rusting
heap
For
flowers
and
fern
to
grow
over
Their
leaders
are
only
drunk
with
fear
They
wouldn't
do
this
be
they
sober
And
when
they
drink
our
friendship
clear
The
troubles
will
soon
all
be
over
