Subject: Lyr Add: THESE DAYS (Lothian 121) From: GeoffLawes Date: 24 Nov 11 - 12:38 PM THESE DAYS By Lothian 121 Can anyone correct and complete the lyrics to this song? I was thinking late last night, Have we forgot the meaning of sacrifice? My grandparents' generation well they didn't think twice, I wonder if it'd be the same these days. Grandad had just fifteen years, When he left with ___?__ without shedding our ? tears, To fight Franco's army with the other volunteers, Could have been a thousand years ago. I can't imagine what he'd seen, A catalogue of violence by the age of eighteen, Things we'd only experience on the T.V. screen, I don't know if I could cope with that. Two years later tired and sore, He returned to a country on the brink of war, He began to fight for something that's worth fighting for, Well they wouldn't know a thing about that. I was thinking late last night, Have we forgot the meaning of sacrifice? My grandparents' generation well they didn't think twice, I don't think it'd be the same these days. Here is a link to a YouTube video featuring These Days by Lothian 121 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47WGSJglkjw On another site, fm Radio, it says Lothian 121 are a Scottish band, based in Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders. They have recorded four albums of songs since 1999 Does anyone know more about the song or the songwriters? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: THESE DAYS Lothian 121 Sp.Civil War song From: GeoffLawes Date: 24 Nov 11 - 03:10 PM Thank you Mick Pearce(MCP), the words you suggest sounds righ -it is what I can now hear myself - but now I can't imagine what the meaning of the verse is! Grandad had just fifteen years, When he left me in my playroom without shedding a tear, To fight Franco's army with the other volunteers, Could have been a thousand years ago. Before, the verse seemed to be saying that Grandad left something/somewhere to fight Franco when he (Grandad) was 15 years old. But there are not many 15 year old Grandad's. ???? Suggestions? |

You have pretty much nailed most of the lyrics - apologies for garbled vocals! The missing line is "When he left Kinlochleven without shedding a tear" - this is the village near Fort William in Scotland that he was brought up in - although I do like the ambiguity of some of the other suggestions! Oh, and at the end of verse 4 - "well I wouldn't know a thing about that" Neil Westgarth |
