lirik lagu ciaran murphy - for god & ulster #2
[verse 1]
well, there’s a man
a lifeless statue with a rifle in his hand
and once a year they’ll stand around him
and another’ll take command
and they’ll stand and pay their tributes
his name’s in gold
he was brave and he was bold, or so we’re told
and as we age he won’t grow old
and wherever veterans gather
they say his name’ll live forever
[chorus]
but all the poppies in the world won’t put the smile back on his face
and at the settin’ of the sun and in the mornin’ just disgrace
on king and kaiser
church and state are none the wiser
[verse 2]
with every sh~ll
all the promises of glory went to h~ll
and you fumbled for your gas mask
when you heard the warning bell
and if you were quick you might have made it
and on the somme
the ones with sense who ran away were shotted down
but in the end it made no difference
sure, the bullets came in showers
k!lled twenty thousand in two hours
[chorus]
and all the bugles in the world
won’t make them numbers less obscene
as you bow your head for a nimrod ask yourself
if you can justify that violence
and have your minute’s silence
[verse 3]
well, there’s a man
a dyin’ paddy with a rifle in his hands
one day he travelled north from dublin
and they sent him to baghdad
some people never learn their lesson
on foreign soil
he helped secure iraqi oil but now he’s dead
and there’s nothing to be said
except to put him with the others
and ship them back home to their mothers
[chorus]
where all the profit in the world won’t put the smile back on her face
and at the setting of the sun she’ll curse the general
and the line that he espouses
and say a plague on all your houses
[chorus]
all the poppies in the world won’t put the smile back on her face
and at the settin’ of the sun and in the mornin’ still disgrace
on king and kaiser
church and state, they’re none the wiser
king and country none the wiser
slava ukraini none the wiser
for god and ulster none the wiser
