Jona Lewie’s individual approach to pop produced “You’ll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties” and the enduring “Stop the Cavalry”. The latter combines an anti-war message with brass-band colour and a longing to be home at Christmas. It’s an unusual seasonal favourite whose memorable tune carries something more serious beneath the surface.
Show Lyrics — Stop The Cavalry
Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here To say we're doing splendidly But it's very cold out here in the snow, Marching to win from the enemy Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough Can you stop the cavalry? I have had to fight, almost every night Down throughout these centuries That is when I say, oh yes yet again Can you stop the cavalry? Mary Bradley waits at home In the nuclear fall-out zone Wish I could be dancing now In the arms of the girl I love (Dub a dub a dumb dumb) (Dub a dub dubadum dubadum dub a dub dubadum) Wish I was at home for Christmas Bang! That's another bomb on another town While Luzar and Jim have tea If I get home, live to tell the tale I'll run for all presidencies If I get elected I'll stop, I will stop the cavalry (Dub a dub a dumb dumb) (Dub a dub dubadum dubadum dub a dub dubadum) Wish I was at home for Christmas
