lyrics

we entered as children
straight out of school
fearlessly fighting like drunken buffoons
we needed the money, they promised us loads
so we signed on the line and did as we were told

I fought quite a battle but I surely lost
though I kept all my badges I learned what they cost
the lives of my brothers and the friends that I made
are now buried in a book for my kids to read

oh, look at me now
I'm drunk so don't make a sound

eleanor, please won't you come to my bed
lift up my spirits and cradle my head
you can empty my pockets and drink all my wine
as long as you promise to stay by my side

my master at arms he tells me my place
he whispers me plans I do as he says
but who is that standing, loading his gun
it's my master and the chief, they're father and son

battle cries don't echo on an arid plain
they're just squashed by the sound of enemy tanks
then washed away on an oasis wave
but they come to me now in my altered state

oh, look at me now
I'm drunk so don't make a sound

eleanor, please won't you come to my bed
lift up my spirits and cradle my head
you can empty my pockets and drink all my wine
as long as you promise to stay by my side
