about

Only a relatively small number of BP staff were cryptographers. Most of the workforce provided the support structure by which decrypts could be decoded, translated, analysed, filed, cross-referenced and distributed to the relevant branches of the services. Much of this work was relentless and tedious.

lyrics

Day after day, day after dreary day.
Day after weary day. Day after day.

My digs are cold, my landlady can’t cook
So I curl up with my cocoa and a book
I hope I sleep tight and hope the bugs don’t bite,
And hope the air-raid sirens don’t go off tonight.
My digs are cold and my landlady can’t cook.

I dream of dancing, spooning in the moonlight.
Wining, dining in the candlelight.
Can I find romance? In this place? Fat chance!
Pining, for my Mr Right

Day after day etc.

There’s plenty more excitement I could take
Than rounders in the summer by the lake.
There must be better ways to pass the time away
Than going to the Odeon on Saturday.
There’s plenty more excitement I could take.

Typing endlessly, it’s boring.
Filing, everything in foreign.
Lunch hour, let’s eat. Bad news- whale meat.
Fed up with this rotten war thing.

Day after day etc.
