David Bowie - She’s Got Medals lyrics
[David Bowie - She’s Got Medals lyrics]
She'd walk through the door and she'd set
Up the drinks on the house
She played a good game of darts
And the men slapped her back
And never took her out
She wore a trenchcoat khaki
Her hobnail boots were full of holes
She's got medals
Her mother called her Mary, but she changed
Her name to Tommy, she's a one, oh
She went and joined the army
Passed the medical
Don't ask me how it's done
They sent her to the front line
Fighting for her country's name
She's got medals
She got very tired of picking up girls
Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls
Then the enemy dropped a bomb
Survivors there were none
People say that when the moon is full and
All the stars have gone to bed
You can see her ghost
But that's a lie because the
Naughty woman isn't dead
She deserted on the previous morning
Replaced her uniform with dresses
Silk and green called herself Eileen
Came to London town now she's settled down
She's got medals
Up the drinks on the house
She played a good game of darts
And the men slapped her back
And never took her out
She wore a trenchcoat khaki
Her hobnail boots were full of holes
She's got medals
Her mother called her Mary, but she changed
Her name to Tommy, she's a one, oh
She went and joined the army
Passed the medical
Don't ask me how it's done
They sent her to the front line
Fighting for her country's name
She's got medals
She got very tired of picking up girls
Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls
Then the enemy dropped a bomb
Survivors there were none
People say that when the moon is full and
All the stars have gone to bed
You can see her ghost
But that's a lie because the
Naughty woman isn't dead
She deserted on the previous morning
Replaced her uniform with dresses
Silk and green called herself Eileen
Came to London town now she's settled down
She's got medals
