Kate Bush: Army Dreamers

[Bluebear]

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 didn't even make it to his twenties.
What a waste.
Army Dreamers.

Tears o'er a tin box.
Oh Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
he cannot 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 didn't even make it to his twenties.
What a waste.
Army Dreamers.

8. Someone did a check into her lineage to see if she was related to BFEE.

Turns out they aren't. You can pretty much tell, she's too intelligent.
