Oh I've just come from the land of the sun...
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from God

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

You just can't believe
The joy I did recieve
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
my convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see.




Hey, kids! New Order's "Low Life" LP was released in North America 20 years ago this month!!!!!

6. "Bernard Albrecht" was never in Electronic.
Bernard Sumner, however, was.

Then again, so was Johnny Marr.

:crazy:

11. kickass! my band covers that tune
although I don't own a melodica, so I have to do that beginning bit on a G major harmonica. Seems to work pretty well. And we don't have a fourth person yet, so somebody has to play bass synth pedals to get the droning synth line.

But other than that it sounds just like it! :P
