Billy Bragg - Like Soldiers Do Lyrics
Blues eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tearsArmed to the teeth for a war of wordsReaching all the yearsI advanced across a poppy fieldI saw the gleam as you raised your shieldAnd love screamed downWith the sun behind its backOur fathers were all soldiers,Shall we be soldiers tooFighting and falling like soldiers doNothing is clear in this tactical unclear warI cant be bothered to find outWhat we are fighting forNo one can win this war of the sensesI see no reason to drop my defencesSo stand fast my emotions,Rally round my shaking heartOur fathers were all soldiers,Shall we be soldiers tooFighting and falling like soldiers doBlue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tearsArmed to the teeth for a war of wordsReaching all the yearsI advanced across a poppy fieldI saw the gleam as you raised your shieldAnd love screamed downWith the sun behind its backI knew once again I was under attackSo stand fast my emotions,Rally round my shaking heartOur fathers were all soldiers,Shall we be soldiers tooFighting and falling like soldiersFighting and falling like soldiersFighting and falling like soldiers do
