David Bowie - She's Got Medals lyrics
Your rating:
She`d walk through the door and she`d set up the drinks on the house She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped her back And never took her out She wore a trenchcoat khaki Her hobnail boots were full of holes She`s got medals Her mother called her Mary, but she changed her name to Tommy, she`s a one, oh She went and joined the army, passed the medical Don`t ask me how it`s done They sent her to the front line Fighting for her country`s name She`s got medals She got very tired of picking up girls Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls Then the enemy dropped a bomb Survivors there were none People say that when the moon is full and all the stars have gone to bed You can see her ghost but that`s a lie because the naughty woman isn`t dead She deserted on the previous morning Replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green Called herself Eileen Came to London town Now she`s settled down She`s got medals
