The Anderson Shelter
(Waters)




Instrumental


Hilda: 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.

Jim: Yes, we had a Morrison. I used to sleep in it. Mmmm.
I stuck pin-up girls all over the inside. Betty Grabel,
Ann Shelton, Patricia Rock. The roof got all smoky,
'cause I used to read in bed with a candle.

Hilda: Yes, it was nice at the war, really. The shelters, the
blackouts, cups of tea...

Jim: The A.R.P., the evacuees, London kids seeing cows for
the first time....

Hilda: Old Churchill on the wires...

Jim: Those were the days.
