Living before the war
Keeping soldiers in a drawer
Fighting battles in your head
Boots of leather, Coats of red
Living before the war
Playing soldiers on the floor
Fighting battles across the bed
Boots of leather, coats of red
Woman prepare yourself, for love may come your way
Woman protect yourself, make ready for that day
Go now and arm yourself, for love will cross your path
And don't be the first to shoot, but don't you be the last
Living before the war
Was never really living at all
Little soldiers, they rise and fall
Boots and coats, and hearts, and all
Living before the war
What have we been waiting for
We can play this game instead
All our soldiers lying dead
Living before the war
Keeping soldiers in a drawer
Fighting battles in your head
Boots of leather, coats of red
Living Before the War was written by Dave Rotheray & Eleanor McEvoy.
