Army Dreamers Lyrics - The Whole Story - Kate Bush

(B.F.P.O) 

(Mammy's hero) 

Our little army boy 

Is coming home from B.F.P.O. 

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. 

Oh, what a waste 

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 

Photos 

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. 

Oh What a waste of 

Army dreamers. 

Oh What a waste of 

Army dreamers. 

Army dreamers. 

Army dreamers. 

Do-de-do-de-do-de-doh. 

(B.F.P.O.) 

Yea-de-do de-de-do-do. 

(Mammy's hero) 

Do-de-do-de-do-de-doh. 

(Army Dreamers) 

Yea-de-do de-de-do-do. 

(Mammy's hero) 

Do-de-do-de-do-de-doh. 

Yea-de-do de-de-do-do.

Do-de-do-de-do-de-doh. 

(Army Dreamers) 

Yea-de-do de-de-do-do.
