Kate Bush - Army Dreamers
[Intro]
(B.F.P.O)
(Army dreamers)
(Mammy's hero)
(B.F.P.O)
(Mammy's hero)
[Verse 1]
Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O
We've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero
Mourning in the aerodrome
The weather warmer, he is colder
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier
[Chorus]
(What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
(What could he do? Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do? Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste, army dreamers
Oh, what a waste of army dreamers
B.F.P.O. is the British Forces Post Office, which not only delivers mail, but also brings home the bodies of dead soldiers.
