°- Keep the Home Fires Burning (1914)

Country rock, punk, male voice, gibson, funky groove, bass boosted, experimental, heartfelt

[Chorus]
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
I know your breaking (Breaking)
My hearts also breaking
So although your heart is breaking
Keep the Home Fires Burning.

[Verse 2]
Overseas there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distress."
And we gave our glorious laddies -
Honour bade us do no less,
For no gallant son of Freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of "Friend."

[Bridge, Easy heartfelt]
Noble hearts answer
Sacred calls of "Friend."
And these gallant sons of Freedom
Need you to -

[Chorus]
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
Keep the Fires Burning,
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
Keep the Fires Burning,
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.

They were summoned from the hillside, They were called in from the glen, And the country found them ready At the rallying call for men Let no tears add to their hardships As the soldiers pass along, And although your heart is breaking, Keep the Home Fires Burning, While your hearts are yearning. Though your lads are far away They dream of home. There's a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining, Turn the dark cloud inside out Till the boys come home. [Chorus] Keep the Home Fires Burning, While your hearts are yearning. I know your breaking (Breaking) My hearts also breaking So although your heart is breaking Keep the Home Fires Burning.
