Army Dreamers

[00:32.53] Our little army boy
[00:35.21] Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
[00:37.19] I've a bunch of purple flowers
[00:39.81] To decorate a mammy's hero
[00:42.63] Mourning in the aerodrome
[00:44.47] The weather warmer, he is colder
[00:47.15] Four men in uniform
[00:49.02] To carry home my little soldier
[00:51.72] "What could he do?
[00:52.68] Should have been a rock star"
[00:53.59] But he didn't have the money for a guitar
[00:56.30] "What could he do?
[00:57.23] Should have been a politician"
[00:59.06] But he never had a proper education
[01:00.86] "What could he do?
[01:01.79] Should have been a father"
[01:02.72] But he never even made it to his twenties
[01:05.48] What a waste
[01:07.28] Army dreamers
[01:09.97] Ooh, what a waste of
[01:11.84] Army dreamers
[01:18.83] Tears o'er a tin box
[01:20.75] Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
[01:23.47] Like a chicken with a fox
[01:25.25] He couldn't win the war with ego
[01:28.09] Give the kid the pick of pips
[01:29.88] And give him all your stripes and ribbons
[01:32.63] Now he's sitting in his hole
[01:34.46] He might as well have buttons and bows
[01:37.20] "What could he do?
[01:38.17] Should have been a rock star"
[01:40.08] But he didn't have the money for a guitar
[01:41.91] "What could he do?
[01:42.87] Should have been a politician"
[01:44.60] But he never had a proper education
[01:46.55] "What could he do?
[01:47.44] Should have been a father"
[01:48.35] But he never even made it to his twenties
[01:50.27] What a waste
[01:52.17] Army dreamers
[01:54.94] Ooh, what a waste of
[01:57.77] Army dreamers
[02:41.97] Ooh, what a waste of all that
[02:45.68] Army dreamers
[02:47.43] Army dreamers
[02:49.23] Army dreamers, oh
[02:56.68]
