It was down by the Atlantic sea
Where the concrete bunkers lay
And the rusty 88's
Looked down where the seagulls play
I heard the ghost bugles' reveille
For the young men who sailed away
For the young men who had to stay
On the beach where the barbed wire lay
ย
See the memory of Billy and John
Proudly standing in their uniforms
See the silver medals they won
That the government sent to their mum
Now some boy painted "Je t'aime monette"
On the walls where the shells were kept
In the corridors young children run
And shout out the barrels of the guns
La guerre c'est fini pour moi
La guerre ne m'amuse pas
La guerre c'est fini pour les esprits des morts
La guerre c'est fini pour moi
ย
If you want another war for peace
Just to kill other men to make them free
I feel that I must inform you
You won't get any help from me
There's plenty of suffering and dying
Tragedy wins over joy
I'd rather run round their rusty guns
Than to die like a brave soldier boy
La guerre c'est fini pour moi
La guerre ne m'amuse pas
La guerre c'est fini pour les esprits des morts
La guerre ne m'amuse pas
