When I first heard this song I thought "Wow, how wwi," but I immediately dismissed it as projecting. However, I learned from Wikipedia (always a reliable source) that Andrea Corr wrote this song after reading a novel about WWI. So.
Sun Nov 11 2007 23:38 A song for today:
You left me thinking what a bore, I'm always stuck inside.
I've got a feeling there is more and I've been left behind.
A lot of pain a lot of noise, that these four walls hide.
Happy faces go to war and dance upon the mines.
Come on come join, come join, come join us.
You're better young come join us.
You be a man come join, come join us.
You're big and strong, come join us.
You planted me in foreign ground, a pen within a hand.
At least I am'nt on my own, in hell I have a friend
and though I fight a sinners shame it isn't my crusade.
Dirty faces in a war, asleep in open graves.
Come on come join, come join, come join us.
You're better young come join us.
You be a man come join, come join us.
You're big and strong, come join us.
Shame on you. Shame on you.
Shame on you to keep my love from me.
Close your eyes to see it.
Lock your heart to feel it.
Change his name to number but he's somebody's child.
