Shes Got Medals — текст песни (David Bowie)

Shed walk through the door and shed set up the drinks on the house

She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped her back

And never took her out

She wore a trenchcoat khaki

Her hobnail boots were full of holes



Shes got medals



Her mother called her mary, but she changed her name to tommy, shes a one, oh

She went and joined the army, passed the medical

Dont ask me how its done

They sent her to the front line

Fighting for her countrys name



Shes got medals



She got very tired of picking up girls

Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls

Then the enemy dropped a bomb

Survivors there were none



People say that when the moon is full and all the stars have gone to bed

You can see her ghost but thats a lie because the naughty woman isnt dead

She deserted on the previous morning

Replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green

Called herself eileen

Came to london town

Now shes settled down



Shes got medals
