Army Dreamers (2018 Remaster)

[Intro]

(B.F.P.O)

(Army dreamers)

(Mammy's hero)

(B.F.P.O)

(Mammy's hero)

[Verse 1]

Our little army boy

Is coming home from B.F.P.O

Wave, 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

[Chorus]

(What could he do? Should have been a rockstar)

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 nеver even madе it to his twenties

What a waste, army dreamers

Oh, what a waste of army dreamers

[Verse 2]

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 buttons and bows

[Chorus]

(What could he do? Should have been a rockstar)

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

Oh, what a waste of army dreamers

Oh, what a waste of all them army dreamers

Army dreamers, army dreamers

[Outro]

B.F.P.O

Army dreamers

Mammy's hero

B.F.P.O

Army dreamers

Mammy's hero

B.F.P.O

No hard heroes

Mammy's hero

B.F.P.O

Army dreamers

Mammy's hero

B.F.P.O

No hard heroes
