I think upon those friends of mine and memories they say,
how brave our step behind the band upon a summer's day,
oh I did not go alone my friends I did not go alone,
my friends and I wave goodbye as our ship left england home,
oh we joked and laughed upon the words, what would our mothers say,
unwed again in sweethearts arms by christmas we were (indistinct),

they say I fight, for king and country,
they say it's my, duty to which I must uphold,
when she's in need, when she's in danger,
your country calls out to you, you are a saviour,
oh,

laughter/lovexxxxx the whisper song,
there was no cheering crowds, no giggling eyes,
no marching band,
cackling guns against boys so fine,
no summer bloom marked friends of mine,
over the top the sergeant cries,
and into no man's land,

oh my dear friends amidst the trench I see you all,
my pale schoolyard chums away lost countries call,
and in this brief moment of silence thoughts of hope make me cower, 
as I set foot on England's .... ,

did we fight, for king and country,
no, said I, we fought for thoughts of returning home,
and men who need me, for all our loved ones,
welcome home a hero, for all I have done,

they say x 6, oh they say x2,
did they die, for king and country?,
was it right, that they should die so far from home,
they'll never greet you, in adoration or shake your hand,
down familiar streets, in glory green and pleasant land,

how wrong we were to think it fun,
great war enthused against the heart,
pray for us all,
xxx dig my grave,
xxx,
I close my eyes, I see my friends,
along the line many fine young men,
lying still in .. grace,
they're like....their lifeless.... gaze,
I feel alone at the wars end,
I wish I died among my friend.
