The Silver Bars - The Young Lieutenant lyrics

Artist: The Silver Bars

album: Peace in Our Time


Hussar!
The young lieutenant of the 4th
Queen's Own Hussars saw combat everyday
The British legions liberated jungle whacking savages with their faith
The Germans ran like Sudanese, the Indians ran gladly to their graves
He wrote the book of history and victory was just an after...
(Well it was a foot note)
Now he'll witness hussars again
They're worn by northern, tasteless men
The true elite, by grace of God
They let the hungry migrant earn a pay
Their lucky fingers toiling in the field of Elveden to Morecambe Bay
But I'll go state-side when I can
But I was born an English man
And that's my children
And that's my wife
And that's my pension
And that's my life
And that's my boyfriend
And that's my house
And I bought all this
With a flash
With a flash of my
With a flash of my gold
The brass plays Jerusalem
The unionists pin poster to the wall
Wrap the babies in the flag
And do the tombstone boogie down the hall
And that's my children
And that's my wife
And that's my pension
And that's my life
And that's my boyfriend
And that's alright
And I bought all this
With a flash
With a flash
Pick a hill to die on man
In this green and pleasant land
Take a hint or take a stand
And that's my children
And that's my wife
And that's my pension
And that's my life
And that's my island
And that's my home
And I bought all this
With a flash
I bought it all with a flash
With a flash of my gold
