Army Dreamers |
| B.F.P.O. |
| Mammy's hero. |
| Our little army boy |
| Is coming home from B.F.P.O. |
| I've a bunch of purple flowers |
| To decorate a mammy's hero. |
| Mourning in the aerodrome, |
| The weather warmer, he is colder. |
| Four men in uniform |
| To carry home my little soldier. |
| What could he do? |
| Should have been a rock star. |
| But he didn't have the money for a guitar. |
| What could he do? |
| Should have been a politician. |
| But he never had a proper education. |
| What could he do? |
| Should have been a father. |
| But he never even made it to his twenties. |
| What a waste — |
| Army dreamers. |
| Ooh, what a waste of |
| Army dreamers. |
| Tears o'er a tin box. |
| Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know, |
| Like a chicken with a fox, |
| He couldn't win the war with ego. |
| Give the kid the pick of pips, |
| And give him all your stripes and ribbons. |
| Now he's sitting in his hole, |
| He might as well have buttons and bows. |
| "What could he do? Should have been a rock star. |
| But he didn't have the money for a guitar. |
| What could he do? |
| Should have been a politician. |
| But he never had a proper education. |
| What could he do? |
| Should have been a father. |
| But he never even made it to his twenties. |
| What a waste — |
| Army dreamers. |
| Ooh, what a waste of |
| Army dreamers. |
| Ooh, what a waste of all that |
| Army dreamers, |
| Army dreamers, |
| Army dreamers, oh... |
