The Ex (Punk Band) - Lamp Lady lyrics

Lamp Lady the image a woman
Helpful, attending and handling with care
Imagine a battlefield
With sparse lives at lives lost
A red cross to bear

The lady with the lamp is what
The lady with the lamp is
What they called her
The country needed heroes, the papers had
To sell

The medicines, the lady
The cupboard, the lamp
The lock not the key, a light in the hand
The prescriptions, the wounded
The look through the glass
Demand not supply, a pain in the ass

The lady with the lamp is what
The lady with the lamp is
What they called her
The country needed heroes
The papers had to sell

The soldiers in the sickbay
The cupboard for medicines
Its smashed front window
In demand for supply
The stories from hearsay
The covers of the magazines
But the wounded they knew the paper lied

The lady with the lamp is what
The lady with the lamp is
What they called her
The country needed heroes
The papers had to sell

The lady without glamour is
The lady with the hammer is what she was
The lady with the hammer is what she was
