Last night,
I was walking to the harbour
where the fishing boats are
lying on the shore
The news had travelled fast
and everyone went to be
Where the mayor was
making a speech
And the crowd started cheering
when he talked about
The glory of it all
And the boys coming home from the war
Last night
They were dancing in the streets
and making music in
the alleyways and bars
From a house down by the old town
came the sound of guitars
Margarita was waiting inside
With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,
and she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,
the boys coming home from
the war.
And they said we were heroes,
they said we were fine
We were kings in command,
we had God on our side
And we said nothing will make us
change in any way
Since yesterday, we're just the same
Since yesterday, nothing has changed
Since yesterday, we're all the same
But I can feel there's a new
kind of hunger inside
to be satisfied.
I saw it there last night, last night.
I was walking through the
Far away from all the music and the girls
And I saw a waiting with a woman in black
And they stood without any word
Just staring at a photograph of someone
And she began to cry
For a boy left behind in the war
Some boy left behind in the war
And they said we were heroes
They said we were fine
We were kings in command,
we had God on our side
And we said nothing will make
us change in any way
Since yesterday, we're just the same
Since yesterday, nothing has changed
Since yesterday, we're all the same
But I can feel there's a new
kind of hunger inside
To be satisfied
I saw it there last night
I saw it there last night you
