Kate Bush Kate Bush - Army Dreamers Lyrics

[00:04]"B.F.P.O."
[00:06]Army dreamers.
[00:09]"Mammy's hero."
[00:14]"B.F.P.O."
[00:19]"Mammy's hero."

[00:21]Our little army boy
[00:23]Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
[00:26]I've a bunch of purple flowers
[00:28]To decorate a mammy's hero.

[00:31]Mourning in the aerodrome,
[00:33]The weather warmer, he is colder.
[00:36]Four men in uniform
[00:38]To carry home my little soldier.

[00:41]"What could he do?
[00:42]Should have been a rock star."
[00:44]But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
[00:46]"What could he do?
[00:47]Should have been a politician."
[00:49]But he never had a proper education.
[00:51]"What could he do?
[00:52]Should have been a father."
[00:53]But he never even made it to his twenties.
[00:57]What a waste --
[00:58]Army dreamers.
[01:01]Ooh, what a waste of
[01:03]Army dreamers.

[01:07]Tears o'er a tin box.
[01:09]Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
[01:12]Like a chicken with a fox,
[01:14]He couldn't win the war with ego.

[01:17]Give the kid the pick of pips,
[01:19]And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
[01:22]Now he's sitting in his hole,
[01:24]He might as well have b___ons and bows.

[01:27]"What could he do?
[01:28]Should have been a rock star."
[01:30]But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
[01:32]"What could he do?
[01:33]Should have been a politician."
[01:35]But he never had a proper education.
[01:37]"What could he do?
[01:38]Should have been a father."
[01:39]But he never even made it to his twenties.
[01:42]What a waste --
[01:44]Army dreamers.
[01:47]Ooh, what a waste of
[01:48]Army dreamers.
[01:52]Ooh, what a waste of all that
[01:54]Army dreamers,
[01:56]Army dreamers,
[01:59]Army dreamers, oh...

[02:10]("B.F.P.O.")
[02:12]Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
[02:12]Army dreamers.
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
[02:15]("Mammy's hero.")
[02:20]("B.F.P.O.")

[02:30]("B.F.P.O.")
[02:32]No harm heroes.
[02:35]("Mammy's hero.")
[02:40]("B.F.P.O.")
[02:42]Army dreamers.
[02:45]("Mammy's hero.")...
