Stephen Duffy And The Lilac Time - Dark Squadrons lyrics

Love is war fought on the run Without rules but with a gun My life and love both fly away They'll be back or so they say In dark squadrons In dark squadrons In dark squadrons In dark squadrons In dark squadrons Nostalgia for an ideal gone So recreate ideals in song I don't know what could fuel those dreams Playground of dead kings and queens And dark squadrons And dark squadrons And dark squadrons And dark squadrons And dark squadrons Wrapped only in your college scarf The Winter palace of your laugh Please reconcile me with our times And then liberate my mind With dark squadrons With dark squadrons With dark squadrons With dark squadrons With dark squadrons We're the first wave on the beach The first wave anyone could reach You've got the Mississippi shakes The world's gone wrong and my heart breaks In dark squadrons In dark squadrons In dark squadrons In dark squadrons In dark squadrons
