Remembrance

I was born on Christmas Day
Some they say a callow whelp
Yet I taught myself to pray
God will save me God will help
God will save me God will help
Learned no trade at father's knee
Though I was his pride and joy
Wondered what becomes of me
Tinker, tailor, soldier boy?
Tinker, tailor, soldier boy?
A soldier of fortune -
I dance to just one tune
For flag and for country
Whatever confronts me
I'll prevail
With one god above me
The women just love me
I kiss them, then leave them
And though I aggrieve them
I'll not fail
So I fought at Agincourt
Marston Moor and Waterloo
Some things are worth fighting for
God will help me guide me through
god will help me guide me through
A soldier of fortune -
I dance to just one tune
For flag and for country
Whatever confronts me
I'll prevail
With one god above me
The women just love me
I kiss them, then leave them
And though I aggrieve them
I'll not fail
Then I went to Inkerman
Spion Kop and Passchendale
Always do the best you can
Then you'll live to tell the tale
Then you'll live to tell the tale

Now I lie in Flanders Fields
Basra, Helmand - who can tell
But I know what time reveals
God won't save me, God won't help
God won't save me from this
Hell
Long and noisy intro but worth the wait for the song
