Spanish Civil War

Spanish Bombs by The Clash • Spanish songs in Andalucia The shooting sites in the days of '39 Oh, please, leave the ventana open Frederico Lorca is dead and gone Bullet holes in the cemetery walls The black cars of the Guardia Civil Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight

• CHORUS Spanish bombs yo te quiero infinito yo te acuerda oh mi corazon

• Spanish weeks in my disco casino The freedom fighters died upon the hill They sang the red flag They wore the black one But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill Back home the buses went up in flashes The Irish tomb was drenched in blood Spanish bombs shatter the hotels My senorita's rose was nipped in the bud

• Spanish bombs yo te quiero infinito yo te acuerda oh mi corazon

• The hillsides ring with "Free the people" Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39? With trenches full of poets The ragged army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line Spanish bombs rock the province I'm hearing music from another time Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight

• Spanish bombs yo te quiero infinito yo te acuerda oh mi corazon • Spanish songs in Andalucia, Mandolina, oh mi corazon Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazon
