I told them we heard singing first before we reached the square
"Arise the wretched of the earth" filled the air
So many fists clenched to the sky we couldn't count them all
But then the sea of weeping washed over the hall
I told them no one saw me, there was no one who would know
I was an army soldier dressed in students clothes
Between the smoking bonfires we held our rifles high
As the ashes of the banners soared into the sky
OT: It was one of those flexidisk things for Beatles fans back in the 60's. My girl cousins (Who had Beatles photos cut out of magazines all over their rooms) took me to the first showing of a Beatles film in Boston at the Mayflower Theatre and I was the only boy there.
Made one of our local papers but they never talked to me. Think I was like 7 at the time so I don't blame them.
