VERSE #1
i think upon those friends of
0:11-0:55
mine and memories they say
how brave our step behind the
band upon a summer's day
oh i did not go alone my friends i
did not go alone
my friends and i wave goodbye
as our ship left England home
oh we joked and laughed upon
the words, what would our
mothers say
unwed again in sweethearts
arms by Christmas we were dead
Build up to
they say i fight, for king and
chorus
0:56/7-1.16 country
CHORUS
they say it's my, duty to which i
1:17-1.46
must uphold
when she's in need, when she's
in danger
your country calls out to you,
you are a saviour
oh
1:47 – 1:57
our laughter draws down the line
VERSE #2
1:57 – 2.20 the whisper song, the long
drawn whine

2. there were no cheering crowds
the giggling eyes
there was no marching band
cackling guns against boys so
fine
no summer bloom marked
friends of mine
over the top the sergeant cries
and into no man’s land
VERSE #3
oh my dear friends amidst the
2:21 – 2:52
trench i see you all
my pale schoolyard chums away
lost country’s call
and in this brief moment of
silence thoughts of hope make
me cower
as i set foot on England's fields
and guns in each arm
CHORUS 2
did we fight, for king and
2:53 – 3:18
country
no, said i, we fought for thoughts
of returning home
and men who need me, for all
our loved ones
welcome home a hero, for all i
have done
VERSE #4
they say x 6, oh they say x2
3:19 – 4:05
did they die, for king and
country?
was it right, that they should die

3. so far from home
they'll never greet you, in
adoration or shake your hand
down familiar streets, in glory
green and pleasant land
VERSE #5
how wrong we were to think it
4:06 – 4:44
fun
great foreign fields against the x
forced to dig the darkening mire
pray for us all in our plight
i close my eyes, i see my friends
along the line many fine young
men
lying still in x x grace
their lifeless eyes, their mouths
agape
i feel alone at the wars end
i wish i died among my friends
