Lyrics
0:04BFPO
0:06Army dreamers
0:09Mammy's hero
0:15BFPO
0:20Mammy's hero
0:21Our little army boy
0:23Is coming home from BFPO
0:26I've a bunch of purple flowers
0:29To decorate a mammy's hero
0:32Mourning in the aerodrome
0:34The weather warmer he is colder
0:37Four men in uniform
0:39To carry home my little soldier
0:41What could he do
0:42Should have been a rock star
0:44But he didn't have the money for a guitar
0:46What could he do
0:47Should have been a politician
0:49But he never had a proper education
0:51What could he do
0:52Should have been a father
0:54But he never even made it to his twenties
0:57What a waste
0:58Army dreamers
1:02Ooh what a waste of
1:03Army dreamers
1:07Tears o'er a tin box
1:10Oh Jesus Christ he wasn't to know
1:13Like a chicken with a fox
1:15He couldn't win the war with ego
1:18Give the kid the pick of pips
1:19And give him all your stripes and ribbons
1:23Now he's sitting in his hole
1:24He might as well have buttons and bows
1:27What could he do
1:28Should have been a rock star
1:30But he didn't have the money for a guitar
1:33What could he do
1:33Should have been a politician
1:35But he never had a proper education
1:37What could he do
1:38Should have been a father
1:40But he never even made it to his twenties
1:43What a waste
1:45Army dreamers
1:48Ooh what a waste of
1:50Army dreamers
1:53Ooh what a waste of all that
1:54Army dreamers
1:57Army dreamers
1:59Army dreamers oh
2:11BFPO
2:12Army dreamers
2:16Mammy's hero
2:21BFPO
2:22Army Dreamers
2:26Mammy's hero
2:31BFPO
2:32No harm heroes
2:36Mammy's hero
2:41BFPO
2:43Army dreamers
2:46Mammy's hero
2:51BFPO
2:53No harm heroes
BFPO Army dreamers Mammy's hero BFPO Mammy's hero Our little army boy Is coming home from BFPO I'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 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 Ooh what a waste of Army dreamers Tears o'er a tin box Oh Jesus Christ he wasn't to know Like a chicken with a fox He couldn't win the war with ego Give the kid the pick of pips And give him all your stripes and ribbons Now he's sitting in his hole He might as well have buttons and bows 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 Ooh what a waste of Army dreamers Ooh what a waste of all that Army dreamers Army dreamers Army dreamers oh BFPO Army dreamers Mammy's hero BFPO Army Dreamers Mammy's hero BFPO No harm heroes Mammy's hero BFPO Army dreamers Mammy's hero BFPO No harm heroes
