All the Fine Young Men |
| They told all the fine young men |
| «Ah, when this war is over |
| There will be peace |
| And the peace will last forever.» |
| In Flanders Fields |
| At Lone Pine and Bersheeba |
| For king and country |
| Honour and for duty |
| The young men fought and cursed and wept and died |
| They told all the fine young men |
| «Ah, when this war is over |
| In your country’s grateful heart |
| We will cherish you forever.» |
| Tobruk and Alamein |
| Bhuna and Kokoda |
| In a world mad with war |
| Like their fathers before |
| The young men fought and cursed and wept and died |
| For many of those fine young men |
| All the wars are over |
| They’ve found their peace |
| It’s the peace that lasts forever |
| When the call comes again |
| They will not answer |
| They’re just forgotten bones |
| Lying far from their homes |
| Forgotten as the cause for which they died |
| Ah, Bluey, can you see now why they lied? |
