No Man's Land - Peter[00:00:00]

Well how do you do private William Mcbride[00:00:16]

Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside[00:00:22]

I'll rest for a while in the warm summer sun[00:00:28]

I've been walking all day[00:00:34]

And I'm nearly done[00:00:37]

And I see by your gravestone you were only 19[00:00:42]

When you joined the glorious fallen in 1916[00:00:48]

And I hope you died quick and[00:00:54]

I hope you died clean[00:00:57]

Or William Mcbride was it slow and obscene[00:01:00]

Did they beat the drum slowly[00:01:07]

Did they sound the pipes lowly[00:01:10]

Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down[00:01:13]

Did the bugle play the last post and chorus[00:01:19]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest[00:01:25]

Well the sun it shines now[00:01:43]

On these green fields of france[00:01:46]

The warm wind blows gently[00:01:50]

And the red poppies dance[00:01:53]

The trenches have vanished now under the plow[00:01:56]

No gas and no barbed wire no guns fire now[00:02:02]

For here in this graveyard[00:02:09]

It's still no man's land[00:02:12]

And the countless white crosses[00:02:15]

In mute witness stand[00:02:18]

To man's blind indifference to his fellow man[00:02:21]

And a whole generation[00:02:27]

Who butchered and damned[00:02:30]

Did they beat the drum slowly[00:02:34]

Did they sound the pipes lowly[00:02:38]

Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down[00:02:41]

Did the bugle play the last post and chorus[00:02:46]

Did the pipes play the flowers o' the forest[00:02:52]

Well I can't help but wonder now Williem Mcbride[00:03:00]

Do all those who lie here know just why they died[00:03:06]

Did you really believe them[00:03:12]

When they told you the 'cause[00:03:15]

Did you really believe this war would end all wars[00:03:18]

But the suffering the sorrow the glory the shame[00:03:26]

The killing the dying[00:03:32]

It was all done in vain[00:03:35]

For William Mcbride it's all happened again[00:03:38]

And again and again and again and again[00:03:43]

Did they beat the drum slowly[00:03:51]

Did they sound the pipes lowly[00:03:54]

Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down[00:03:57]

Did the bugle play the last post and chorus[00:04:02]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest[00:04:08]
