The Eve of War (The Donald Pleasence War Suite pt​.​1)

from The Pleasencing! by Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures

/

lyrics

When he was a younger man
plucky Donald P
had no time for war
a pacifist, an actor a
lover of trains was he
he didn’t want the fighting
or the bloodshed anymore

Raised a strict methodist
up north on those dark yorkshire hills
He didn’t want to hurt his fellow man
a conscientious objector
when the news of war broke out
but if you think him a coward
then you just don’t understand

His love for humanity was such
that he did not want to raise a gun
violence just leads to more is what he thought
he’d rather tread the boards
entertaining with his shakespeare
battles of words and wits were the only ones he fought

but as the fascist armies
defiantly marched near
and more were dead and wounded every day
one afternoon in 1942 he decided
if they were going to try and take his homeland
then he’d stand in their way
