Kevin Coyne - Old Soldiers lyrics

Coyne Standing in a corner...All alone You know I'd like to take you...Drag you home Chest full of medals... every one of them clay One of yesterday's heroes who's had his day Chorus: Why, why, why, why? (x3) Old soldier, why, why, old soldier, why? Verse Nobody cares, why should they? It's true, it's true, I know, you've really had your day Abrasive comments from rich pa**ers-by You really should get a job you know, no matter if you're ninety-five Chorus Bridge Still I'd like to take you on a new campaign Bring a little sunshine into your life Instead of all that driving rain Chorus Verse Days go on, you can't change Not enough left of you to rearrange Drink after drink after drink, you know you stink Build up something new, Lord, it makes me think Chorus Tell me why, old soldier, why?, please tell me why, somebody tell me why (ad lib)
