Kate Bush Army Dreamers Lyrics

Army dreamers
(Mammy's hero)

(B.F.P.O.)
(Mammy's hero)

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 never even made it to his twenties
What a waste, army dreamers
Oooh, what a waste of, army dreamers

Tears over a tin box, oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
Like a chicken with a fox, he couldn't 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 b___ons 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 never even made it to his twenties
What a waste, army dreamers
Oooh, what a waste of, army dreamers

Oooh, what a waste of all that, army dreamers
Army dreamers
Army dreamers

Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
(B.F.P.O.)
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
(Mammy's hero)
(B.F.P.O.)
Army Dreamers
(Mammy's hero)
(B.F.P.O.)
No harm heroes
(Mammy's hero)
(B.F.P.O.)
Army dreamers
(Mammy's hero)
(B.F.P.O.)
No harm heroes
