“Swing little girl, swing high into the sky
and don’t ever look at the ground
if you’re looking for rainbows look up to the sky
you’ll never find rainbows if you’re looking down
life may be dreary but never the same
someday it’s sunshine, someday it’s rain
swing little girl, swing high into the sky
and don’t ever look at the ground
if you’re looking for rainbows look up to the sky
but never, no never look down”

Here’s an article from an early 40’s portuguese magazine about how our english neighbours and world war II, most precisely about the nights sleeping in subway stations during the blitz. It goes on saying:
How they sleep in london
The life in london – and one might say the life in all of England – is very different today from what it was about a year ago. The successive bombings that the capital has been suffering not only have caused massive damage, but also completely altered the habits of it’s population. Take these images: they constitute a report about how now-a-days people sleep in London. The reader will certainly notice how you won’t find any expressions or attitudes of despair. But if you keep in mind that the common Londoner is by nature calm and stoic, there’s no cause to be surprised. In the subterranean shelters, during the night, man, women and children are laying across mattresses resting peacefully. Some dance and have a good time, while outside bombs are going off relentlessly.
They then give into a profound sleep with no nightmares, but a beautiful dream that one day will be true: peace!
