Roy Harper - The Unknown Soldier lyrics
[Roy Harper - The Unknown Soldier lyrics]
I am an old soldier i've been in the wars
Backwards and forwards creeping on all fours
And I travel the pulses unseen and alone
Dogfights in the cosmos feeling the unknown
And I laugh in my sleep
Sitting in the gutter
Picking dog-ends from the deep
I am an old soldier i see in your face
Times repeating uniforms in space
Looking forward to Doomsday telepathy wars
Dogma daydreams imaginary doors
And I laugh in my sleep
Sitting in the gutter
Picking dog-ends from the deep
But in the night a little
Boy is dreaming mysteries
And looking after laughter with
His sister climbing trees
And somewhere there's a button
And a silent satellite
And a bastard who would press
It and an everlasting night
I'd hunt him like a tiger and
I'd tear him to a shred
There's nowhere you can hide man
Me and the kids we'd feed you to the dead
And I cry in my sleep
For all the hungry children
And the unbelieving sheep
Backwards and forwards creeping on all fours
And I travel the pulses unseen and alone
Dogfights in the cosmos feeling the unknown
And I laugh in my sleep
Sitting in the gutter
Picking dog-ends from the deep
I am an old soldier i see in your face
Times repeating uniforms in space
Looking forward to Doomsday telepathy wars
Dogma daydreams imaginary doors
And I laugh in my sleep
Sitting in the gutter
Picking dog-ends from the deep
But in the night a little
Boy is dreaming mysteries
And looking after laughter with
His sister climbing trees
And somewhere there's a button
And a silent satellite
And a bastard who would press
It and an everlasting night
I'd hunt him like a tiger and
I'd tear him to a shred
There's nowhere you can hide man
Me and the kids we'd feed you to the dead
And I cry in my sleep
For all the hungry children
And the unbelieving sheep
