She's Got Medals Lyrics - David Bowie - David Bowie

David Bowie 

David Bowie (1998) 

She's Got Medals 

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 

Photos 

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
