ISLAND OF NO RETURN
As recorded by Billy Bragg
(From the 1984 Album BREWING UP WITH BILLY BRAGG)

[Intro]
Em G Am Em G Em
G Em G

[Verse 1]
Am C
Digging all day and digging all night
Em
To keep my foxhole out of sight
D C
Digging into dinner on a plate on my knees
Em
The smell of damp webbing in the morning breeze
Am C
Fear in my stomach, fear in the sky
Em
I eat my dinner with a weary eye
Am C
After all this it won't be the same
Em G D C D G D C D
Messing around on Salisbury Plain

[Chorus]
G
Pick up your feet, fall in, move out
C
We're going to a party way down South
G
Me and the Corporal out on a spree
C D Em Am C Em Am C
Damned from here to eternity

[Bridge]
Em Am C
I can already taste the blood in my mouth?
Em Am C
We're going to a party way down South

[Interlude]
Em G Em G Em G

[Verse 2]
D C
I hate this flat land, there's no cover
