lyrics
Sign up, line up and grab your kit.
Does a mother need a son,
more than a king that needs his country?
when there's work to be done?
You said we'd be home for Christmas.
The glory of war.
One of Kitcheners "Pals Batallions."
With no idea what we're fighting for.
We're nothing but soldiers now.
Endless names upon a wall.
In cement and in marble.
We were young once.
The Field Marshall speaks with varnished speech.
The orders trickle down.
Another regional accent hits the ground.
Another maudlin home in a Northern Town.
The fields in Flanders where youth lay,
for a century now fade.
We were young once.
Sweet nothings that dance upon the page,
but this pen it weighs a ton.
I cradled it from England's green fields
to the mud and blood of the Somme.
Darling, you said you'd be home for Christmas.
I need you more that this war.
Just like a shell, the dreaded telegram fell,
now this house ain't a home no more.
Where are our sweethearts now?
We gave our hero's to you all.
They rest easy in Flanders.
We were young once.
The Field Marshall speaks with varnished speech.
The orders trickle down.
Another regional accent hits the ground.
Another maudlin home in a Northern Town.
The fields in Flanders where youth lay,
for a century now fade.
Skellums was formed because there was nothing else left to do.
Underneath all the dirty guitars and
drums, there lives a pop song. Skellums believe, that as long as you have a melody, you can get away with all sorts.
