作词 : Treacy | |
He got no ribbons, no decorations | |
They sent no medals to his sad parents | |
Just sent a letter telling them their son had died | |
Killed by a bullet | |
Now every night his mother cries | |
He was only eighteen when he joined the army | |
It wasn't patriotic pride | |
It was the only job that he could find | |
Four months later he's in the | |
Falkland Islands | |
A boy with a gun and a hand grenade | |
He's cold, homesick and frightened | |
The army sent condolences | |
The army sent a wreath | |
They said they all felt proud of him | |
They sent his ashes back in a tin | |
He got no ribbons, no decorations | |
They sent no medals | |
No mention in dispatches | |
He's soon forgotten like so many others | |
He won no medals no mention in dispatches | |
The government sent a letter saying they were proud | |
The government sent a letter thanking his sad parents | |
He got no ribbons no decorations | |
They sent no medals to his sad parents |
