[00:00:00] Soldier (Manchester Square Demo) - Angelic Upstarts
[00:00:01] Written by:Andrews
[00:00:12] In a station in the city a British soldier stood
[00:00:18] Talking to the people there if the people would
[00:00:23] Some just stared in hatred and others turned in pain
[00:00:28] And the lonely British soldier wished he was back home again
[00:00:33] Come join the British army said the posters in his town
[00:00:38] See the world and have your come serve before the crown
[00:00:43] The jobs were hard to come by and could not face the dole
[00:00:48] So he took his country's shilling and enlisted on the roll
[00:00:53] But there was no fear of fighting the empire long was lost
[00:00:58] Just ten years in the army getting paid for being bossed
[00:01:03] Then leave a man experienced a man who's made the grade
[00:01:08] A medal and a pension some memories and a trade
[00:01:13] Then came the call to Ireland as the call had came before
[00:01:18] Another bloody chapter in an endless civil war
[00:01:23] The priests they stood on both
[00:01:25] Sides the priests they stood behind
[00:01:28] Another fight in Jesus name the blind against the blind
[00:01:33] The soldier stood between them between the whistling stones
[00:01:38] And then the broken bottles that led to broken bones
[00:01:43] The petrol bombs that burnt
[00:01:45] His hands the nails that pierced his skin
[00:01:48] And now wished that he'd stayed at home
[00:01:51] Surrounded by his kin
[00:01:53] The station filled with people the soldier soon was bored
[00:01:58] But better in the station than where the people warred
[00:02:03] The room filled up with mothers
[00:02:06] With daughters and with sons
[00:02:08] Who stared with itchy fingers at the soldier and his gun
[00:02:13] A yell of fear a screech of brakes the shattering of glass
[00:02:18] The window of the station broke to let the package pass
[00:02:23] A scream came from the mothers as they ran towards the door
[00:02:29] Dragging children crying from the bomb upon the floor
[00:02:33] The soldier stood and could not move his gun he could not use
[00:02:38] He knew the bomb had seconds and not minutes on the fuse
[00:02:43] He could not run to pick it up and throw it in the street
[00:02:48] There were far too many people there too many running feet
[00:02:53] Take cover yelled the soldier take cover for your lives
[00:02:58] And the Irishmen threw down their
[00:03:00] Young and stood before their wives
[00:03:03] They turned towards the soldier their eyes alive with fear
[00:03:08] For god's sake save children they'll end their short lives here
[00:03:13] The soldier moved towards the bomb his stomach like a stone
[00:03:18] Why was this his battle god why was he alone
[00:03:23] He lay down on the package and he murmured one farewell
[00:03:29] To those at home in England to those he loved so well
[00:03:34] He saw the sights of summer felt the wind upon his brow
[00:03:39] The young girls in the city parks how precious were they now
[00:03:44] The soaring of the swallow the beauty of the swan
[00:03:49] The music of the turning world so soon would it be gone
[00:03:54] A muffled soft explosion and the room began to quake
[00:03:59] The soldier blown across the floor his blood a crimson lake
[00:04:04] They never heard him cry or shout never heard him moan
[00:04:09] And they turned their children's faces from
[00:04:11] The blood and from the bones
[00:04:14] The crowd outside soon gathered and the ambulances came
[00:04:19] To carry off the body of a pawn lost to the game
[00:04:24] And the crowd they clapped and cheered
[00:04:26] And they sang their rebel songs
[00:04:29] One soldier less to interfere where he did not belong
[00:04:34] But will the children growing up learn at their mothers knees
[00:04:39] The story of that soldier who bought their liberty
[00:04:44] Who used his youthful body as a means towards the end
[00:04:49] Who gave his life to those who called him murderer not friend
