With all the clarity of dream
|
The sky so blue, the grass so green
|
The rank and file and the navy blue
|
The deep and strong, the straight and true
|
|
The blue line they got the given sign
|
The belts and boots march forward in time
|
The wood and leather the club and shield
|
Swept like a wave across the battlefield
|
|
Now with all the clarity of dream
|
The blood so red, the grass so green
|
The gleam of spur on the chestnut flank
|
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks
|
|
Oh the iron will and the iron hand
|
In England's green and pleasant land
|
No music for the shameful scene
|
That night they said it had even shocked the queen
|
|
Well alas we've seen it all before
|
Knights in armour, days for yore
|
The same old fears and the same old crimes
|
We haven't changed since ancient times
|
