Lyrics

[Woman:] "it's funny to think there's no shelters this time. we had an old anderson in the garden. I can see it now. we had stertians growing all over it, and we painted the front green. painted it looked quite pretty. next door grew cabbages on theirs."
[Man:] "yes, we had a morrison. mmmm. I used to sleep in it. I stuck pin-up girls all over the inside. betty grabel, ann shelton, tricia rock. the roof got all smoky, 'cause I used to read in bed with a candle."
[Woman:] "yes, it was nice at the war, really. the shelters, the blackouts, the cups of tea..."
[Man:] "the a.r.p., the evacuees, london kids seeing cows for the first time...."
[Woman: "old churchill on the wires..."
[Man:] "those were the days."
