Soldier Song |
Poor little soldier, the war is all done |
So tug off your medal and empty your gun |
They found you a pillow to lay down your head |
So hang up your hang-ups and climb into bed |
There’s a chime on the hour and a light in the hall |
And a picture of nothing in a frame on the wall |
And there’s rain on the rooftops to the north of the shire |
And the trains run the coal through the heart of the night |
You fought for your country you fought for your queen |
Now everyone’s happy, now everyone’s free |
And God help the bastard who says it’s not so |
And God help the bastard 'cause what does he know? |
Sleep in the knowledge that England is brave |
For each loss of breath is a life that you saved |
The angels will guard you, they’ll tend to your brow |
Poor little soldier, come lay your head down |
There’s a chime on the hour and a light in the hall |
And a picture of nothing in a frame on the wall |
And there’s rain on the rooftops to the north of the shire |
And the trains run the coal through the heart of the night |
