《Soldier》歌词

[00:00:00] Soldier - Angelic Upstarts
[00:00:49] In a station in the city a british soldier stood
[00:00:54] Talking to the people there if the people would
[00:01:00] Some just stared in hatred and others turned in pain
[00:01:06] And the lonely british soldier wished
[00:01:08] He was back home again
[00:01:11] Come join the british
[00:01:13] Army said the posters in his town
[00:01:17] See the world and have your come serve before the Crown
[00:01:23] The jobs were hard to come by
[00:01:25] And could not face the dole
[00:01:29] So he took his country's shilling and enlisted on the roll
[00:01:58] But there was no fear of fighting the empire long was lost
[00:02:03] Just ten years in the army getting paid for being bossed
[00:02:09] Then leave a man experienced a man who's made the grade
[00:02:15] A medal and a pension some mem'ries and a trade
[00:02:20] Then came the call to
[00:02:22] Ireland as the call had came before
[00:02:26] Another bloody chapter in an endless civil war
[00:02:32] The priests they stood on both
[00:02:34] Sides the priests they stood behind
[00:02:38] Another fight in
[00:02:39] Jesus's name the blind against the blind
[00:02:43] The soldier stood between them
[00:02:46] Between the whistling stones
[00:02:49] And then the broken bottles that led to broken bones
[00:02:55] The petrol bombs that burnt
[00:02:57] His hands the nails that pierced his skin
[00:03:01] And now wished that he'd stayed at home
[00:03:04] Surrounded by his kin
[00:03:39] The station filled
[00:03:41] With people the soldier soon was bored
[00:03:44] But better in the station than where the people warred
[00:03:50] The room filled up with mothers
[00:03:52] With daughters and with sons
[00:03:55] Who stared with itchy fingers at the soldier and his gun
[00:04:01] A yell of fear a screech of brakes the shattering of glass
[00:04:07] The window of the station broke to let the package pass
[00:04:12] A scream came from the mothers as they ran towards the door
[00:04:18] Dragging children crying from the bomb upon the floor
[00:04:24] The soldier stood
[00:04:25] And could not move his gun he could not use
[00:04:30] He knew the bomb had seconds and not minutes on the fuse
[00:04:35] He could not run to pick it up and throw it in the street
[00:04:41] There were far too many people
[00:04:43] There too many running feet
[00:04:47] Take cover yelled the soldier Take cover for your lives
[00:04:52] And the Irishmen threw down their
[00:04:55] Young and stood before their wives
[00:04:58] They turned towards
[00:05:00] The soldier their eyes alive with fear
[00:05:04] For God's sake save children
[00:05:07] They'll end their short lives here
[00:05:10] The soldier moved towards the bomb his stomach like a stone
[00:05:16] Why was this his battle God why was he alone
[00:05:21] He lay down on the package and he murmured one farewell
[00:05:27] To those at home in England to those he loved so well
[00:05:33] He saw the sights of summer felt the wind upon his brow
[00:05:39] The young girls in the city parks
[00:05:41] How precious were they now
[00:05:44] The soaring of the swallow the beauty of the swan
[00:05:50] The music of the turning world so soon would it be gone
[00:05:56] A muffled soft explosion and the room began to quake
[00:06:02] The soldier blown across the floor
[00:06:04] His blood a crimson lake
[00:06:07] They never heard him cry
[00:06:09] Or shout never heard him moan
[00:06:13] And they turned their children's faces from
[00:06:16] The blood and from the bones
[00:06:19] The crowd outside soon gathered and the ambulances came
[00:06:24] To carry off the body of a pawn lost to the game
[00:06:30] And the crowd they clapped and cheered
[00:06:33] And they sang their rebel songs
[00:06:36] One soldier less to interfere where he did not belong
[00:06:42] But will the children growing up learn at their mothers knees
[00:06:47] The story of that soldier who bought their liberty
[00:06:53] Who used his youthful body as a means towards the end
[00:06:59] Who gave his life to those who called him murderer not friend
