Lyrics from what I can hear:
Stumble round Clifford’s Fort
With ney good intentions
Blag a few fish off the boat
Make me way up the hill
That’s the problem yi see
I never make it
Cause The Half Moon, The Wagon, and the Dolphin are in between
Stagger into the Mission Hall
And mumble a few words
One for me ma
One for me sister who isn’t well
And as I get through the door back home
He’s already took ah (her)
She never done nowt wrong in the little time she had
Iris, I miss you like hell
Ya little hands and funny laugh will haunt me to the day I see you again
Iris, I wish it was me
Mam won’t stop wailing and the nights are proving to be impossible without yi
I geedup and went to war
With no need of persuasion
Cos there was lads dropping down
In this small fishing town where I'm from
I fought fascists in every land
From muddy fields to arid sand
And Mam baked the cake that got covered in athlete's foot powder
And I coulda cried
He's a good captain
He never makes us fix bayonets
Hopefully it won't come to that
Hopefully I won't have to do it
Iris, I miss you like hell
The things that I’ve seen out here will haunt me till I see you again
Iris, I wish it was me
Though I may join you soon if I don’t make it through this never-ending nightmare
Iris, I hope I make it for mam’s sake, but if not, a’ll come see you now

Très jolie chanson, rythme pure aux nuances subtiles et délicates apaisantes malgré une histoire qu'on devine triste? Très jolie chanson dans la tradition des ballades chantées autour du feu pour sentir la chaleur des voix et du feu. Très jolie chanson qui donne envie de connaitre l'histoire d'Iris et de celui à qui elle manque. Très jolie chanson qui donne envie d'aller voir le film . Merci Sam.
