Some Mother's Son Lyrics - Kinks

Some mother's son lies in a field 

Someone has killed some mother's son today 

Head blown up by some soldier's gun 

While all the mothers stand and wait 

Some mother's son ain't coming home today 

Some mothers son ain't got no grave 

Two soldiers fighting in a trench 

One soldier glances up to see the sun 

And dreams of games he played when he was young 

And then his friend calls out his name 

It stops his dream and as he turns his head 

A second later he is dead

Some mother's son lies in a field 

Back home they put his picture in a frame 

But all dead soldiers look the same 

While all the parents stand and wait 

To meet their children coming home from school 

Some mother's son is lying dead 

Somewhere someone is crying 

Someone is trying to be so brave 

But still the world keeps turning 

Though all the children have gone away 

Photos 

Some mother's son lies in a field 

But in his mother's eyes he looks the same 

As on the day he went away 

They put his picture on the wall 

They put flowers in the picture frame 

Some mothers memory remains
