[00:00:00] German soldiers helmet circa 1943 - Ian McNabb

[00:00:15] When I was just a young boy

[00:00:18] My mother said to me

[00:00:22] Would you like to come to town today

[00:00:26] And keep me company

[00:00:29] We walked around department stores

[00:00:33] She bought me lots of sweets

[00:00:37] She bought the things a family needs

[00:00:41] And bought herself a treat

[00:00:44] She asked me if I wanted anything at all

[00:00:52] As we walked outside a junk shop

[00:00:55] Just behind the old town hall

[00:00:59] So I looked into the window

[00:01:03] And displayed there to my glee

[00:01:06] Was a German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943

[00:01:22] I asked if I could have it

[00:01:25] And she looked horrified

[00:01:29] She must have thought about the war

[00:01:33] And all those who had died

[00:01:36] She said we'd ask my father

[00:01:40] And grabbed me by my hand

[00:01:44] So I went home to tell my Dad

[00:01:48] I knew he'd understand

[00:01:51] 'Cos he fought in the desert

[00:01:55] It's what he had to do

[00:01:59] Imagine what it would be like

[00:02:03] If it were me or you

[00:02:06] He gave me ten pounds fifty

[00:02:10] The asking price you see

[00:02:14] For the German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943

[00:02:28] The years passed so quickly

[00:02:32] And nothing is the same

[00:02:36] And I've moved home so many times

[00:02:40] But noone is to blame

[00:02:44] I never thought about it

[00:02:47] I never had the time

[00:02:51] Playing this crazy rock and roll

[00:02:55] I nearly lost my mind

[00:02:58] But just the other evening

[00:03:02] Beneath the cellar stairs

[00:03:06] I banged my knee on something hard

[00:03:10] I gave a little curse

[00:03:13] I shone my torch into the dark

[00:03:17] And guess what I did see

[00:03:23] A German Soldiers Helmet circa 1943

[00:03:30] Thanks Mum and Dad for buying me

[00:03:33] This piece of history
