Theme: MILITARY MIGHT

Just in time, right? Last song for MILITARY MIGHT, here's "Like Soldiers Do", originally by Billy Bragg. This song was brought to me by Martin Burch, who asked me to play bass as well as sing lead vocal, which took some getting used to, as Billy Bragg is far from my comfort zone. But Martin gave me a great backing track with programmed drums, keys and both electric and acoustic guitars, he really shines on those layered harmony vocals! Martin took care of the mix while I put together this last minute video. Enjoy!

lyrics

Blues eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears
Armed to the teeth for a war of words
Reaching all the years
I advanced across a poppy field
I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
And love screamed down
With the sun behind its back

Our Fathers were all soldiers,
Shall we be soldiers too
Fighting and falling like soldiers do

Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war
I can't be bothered to find out
What we are fighting for
No one can win this war of the senses
I see no reason to drop my defenses
So stand fast my emotions,
Rally round my shaking heart

Our Fathers were all soldiers,
Shall we be soldiers too
Fighting and falling like soldiers do

Blue eyes fighting the gray eyes fighting the tears
Armed to the teeth for a war of words
Reaching all the years
I advanced across a poppy field
I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
And love screamed down
With the sun behind its back
I knew once again I was under attack
So stand fast my emotions,
Rally round my shaking heart

Our Fathers were all soldiers,
Shall we be soldiers too
Fighting and falling like soldiers
Fighting and falling like soldiers
Fighting and falling like soldiers do
