The Soldiering Life


Ambling madly all over the town
The call to arms you likened to a whisper
I likened to a radio
You were a brick bat, a bowery tuff, so rough
They called you from a cartoon
Pulled out of your pantaloons
But You
My brother in arms
I'd rather I'd lose my limbs
Than let you come to harm
But You

The bullets may singe your skin
And the mortars may fall
But I

Our eyes aligned, swaddled in our civies
Cradled in our dungarees
But You

I'd rather I'd lose my limbs
Than let you come to harm
But You
My bombazine doll
The bullets may singe your skin
And the mortars may fall
But I
I never felt so much life
Than tonight
Huddled in the trenches
Gazing on the battle field
Our rifles blaze away
We blaze away
We blaze away
We blaze away
