She`s Got Medals — текст песни (David Bowie)

She`d walk through the door and she`d 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
She`s got medals
Her mother called her Mary, she changed her name to Tommy,
she`s a one, oh
She went and joined the army, passed the medical
Don`t ask me how it`s done
They sent her to the front line
Fighting for her country`s name
She`s 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 that`s a lie because the naughty woman isn`t dead
She deserted on the previous morning
Replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green
Called herself Eileen
Came to London town
Now she`s settled down
She`s got medals
