Like Soldiers Do Lyrics by Billy Bragg

Like Soldiers Do Lyrics

    Blues eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears
    Armed to the teeth for a war of words
    Reaching all the years
    I advanced across a poppy field
    I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
    And love screamed down
    With the sun behind its back

    Our fathers were all soldiers,
    Shall we be soldiers too
    Fighting and falling like soldiers do

    Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war
    I can't be bothered to find out
    What we are fighting for
    No one can win this war of the senses
    I see no reason to drop my defences
    So stand fast my emotions,
    Rally round my shaking heart

    Our fathers were all soldiers,
    Shall we be soldiers too
    Fighting and falling like soldiers do

    Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears
    Armed to the teeth for a war of words
    Reaching all the years
    I advanced across a poppy field
    I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
    And love screamed down
    With the sun behind its back
    I knew once again i was under attack
    So stand fast my emotions,
    Rally round my shaking heart

    Our fathers were all soldiers,
    Shall we be soldiers too
    Fighting and falling like soldiers
    Fighting and falling like soldiers
    Fighting and falling like soldiers do
