DAVID BOWIE lyrics : "She's Got Medals"

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
