VIDEO: Army Dreamers

Should have been a rock star...a politician...a father...but he never even made it to his twenties...what a waste....

I have to say "shame upon you," Bluebear! Not in the bad way though. Your posts are great, and I saw the title and thought the clip would be about the recent BS from the Pentagon about homosexuality being a mental defect. It is still a great clip (been awhile since I heard from Kate Bush). So...

K&R

Keep the protest songs coming! :)

B.f.p.o.
Army dreamers
Mammy’s hero
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...

b.f.p.o.
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
Army dreamers.
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
mammy’s hero
b.f.p.o.
Army dreamers
mammy’s hero
b.f.p.o.
No harm heroes
mammy’s hero
(b.f.p.o.)
Army dreamers
mammy’s hero
b.f.p.o.
No harm heroes
