Is it a kind of a dream floating out of the tide? Following the river of death downstream or is it a dream? There’s a fog along the horizon; a strange glow in the sky And nobody seems to know where you go and what does it mean. Or is it a dream? ``` Bright eyes burning like fire. Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes? ``` Is it a kind of shadow reaching into the night? Wandering over the hills unseen or is it a dream? There’s a high wind in the trees, a cold sound in the air. And nobody ever knows when you go and where do you start Oh, into the dark. ---

They stole little Bridget For seven years long. When she came down again Her friends were all gone. They took her lightly back, Between the night and morrow; They thought that she was fast asleep, But she was dead with sorrow. They have kept her ever since Deep within the lakes, On a bed of flag-leaves, Watching till she wakes. By the craggy hill-side, Through the mosses bare They have planted thorn trees For pleasure here and there. Is any man so daring To dig up one in spite, He shall find the thornies set In his bed at night. Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren’t go a-hunting For fear of little men; Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together; Green jacket, red cap, And grey cock’s feather! ---

I remember cities, and I remember rain Like the sound of your voice, falling These memories and more remain I remember winter, and I remember strain Like the sound of your voice, breaking These memories and more remain I remember the nights, and I remember pain Like the sound of your voice, alone These memories and more remain So where do we begin And what else can we say? When the lines are all drawn What should we do today? Close our eyes awhile as morning shadows play And listen to the rain wash the long night away Face to face we’ll awake to see another day And with hope in our hearts Embrace this shade of gray This pleasant shade of gray ---

Jump down the shelters to get away - the boys are cocking up their guns Tell us general, is it party time? If it is, can we all come? Don’t think that we don’t know Don’t think that we’re not trying Don’t think we move too slow It’s no use after crying Saying it’s a mistake - it’s a mistake It’s a mistake - it’s a mistake After the laughter has died away, and all the boys have had their fun No surface noise now, not much to say - they got the bad guys on the run Don’t try to say you’re sorry Don’t say he drew his gun They’ve gone and grabbed old Ronnie He’s not the only one Saying it’s a mistake - it’s a mistake It’s a mistake - it’s a mistake ---

Young men, soldiers, Nineteen Fourteen Marching through countries they’d never seen Virgins with rifles, a game of charades All for a Children’s Crusade Pawns in the game are not victims of chance Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France Poppies for young men, death’s bitter trade All of those young lives betrayed The children of England would never be slaves They’re trapped on the wire and dying in waves The flower of England face down in the mud And stained in the blood of a whole generation ---

Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching’s is blue They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle It’s a knockout If looks could kill they probably will In games without frontiers-wars without tears If looks could kill they probably will In games without frontiers-war without tears Games without frontiers-war without tears Jeux sans frontieres [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=175) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=177)
