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
