Gung Ho

His monument

A pile of clothes left on the beach

Another sermon never preached

To be washed out by the tide

With the goals he'd never reach

Another trophy gathers dust

A hushed crowd who mourn the loss of a soul lost to success

At all cost

Oh did he do it for the show

Cos he missed the highs and lows

Did he chance it for the buzz?

His wife will never know

He was so Gung Ho

Oh so Gung Ho

He lived his life like thе poets were in awе

Like the films he never saw

Like he owed it to the world to explore

He met his end

A blaze of glory from the start

A lust for life his work of art

How we burst upon the scene and then depart

Oh did he do it for the show?

Cos he'd miss the highs and lows

Did he chance it for the buzz

His kids will never know

He was so Gung Ho

Was so Gung Ho

Oh so Gung Ho

Oh did he do it for the thrill

Another dream a bitter pill

It's not a choice to runaway

When you're afraid of standing still

Oh, He was so Gung Ho

Oh so Gung Ho

He was so Gung Ho

He was so Gung Ho

Oh so Gung Ho
