The Legendary Pink Dots - Poppy Day lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Poppy Day lyrics]
We'll remember when that wreath is
Just a crown of thorns
To drape around your helmet
Hide out anywhere at all
We'll remember when you're no more than
A poem on a grave
A sideline for the guy who writes the
Birthday cards but never signs his name
He's got your number, feels your pain
Though you're smiling from the mantel-piece
And you've got your rifle trained
It's pointing at the TV shall we
Tell you when to fire?
There's a programme we all hate it's not a
Late show so you won't be tired
We remember how you loved the war films
And hid behind the sofa throwing
Balls of silver paper
We remember we remember we've
Got our poppies on we hear the clock chime
Out eleven we remember
We remember it's Poppy Day
(You shall not grow old)
Just a crown of thorns
To drape around your helmet
Hide out anywhere at all
We'll remember when you're no more than
A poem on a grave
A sideline for the guy who writes the
Birthday cards but never signs his name
He's got your number, feels your pain
Though you're smiling from the mantel-piece
And you've got your rifle trained
It's pointing at the TV shall we
Tell you when to fire?
There's a programme we all hate it's not a
Late show so you won't be tired
We remember how you loved the war films
And hid behind the sofa throwing
Balls of silver paper
We remember we remember we've
Got our poppies on we hear the clock chime
Out eleven we remember
We remember it's Poppy Day
(You shall not grow old)
