Another Man's Cause - The Levellers[00:00:01]
Gunshots shatter in the peace of night[00:00:25]
Just another fire fight[00:00:28]
For the people of this little town[00:00:30]
But for the dying soldier[00:00:36]
Well he's feeling ten years older[00:00:38]
As he's lying face down on the ground[00:00:41]
All the words that are in his head[00:00:48]
And all the words his mother said[00:00:50]
As she would put him to bed back home[00:00:53]
Your daddy well he died in the Falklands[00:00:59]
Fighting for another man's cause[00:01:05]
And your brother he was killed in the Last War[00:01:09]
And your mother well she's lying home alone[00:01:15]
Every day she sees your face[00:01:42]
On the picture on the fireplace[00:01:44]
With your brother as he was leaving school[00:01:47]
Then a day came five years ago[00:01:53]
You said "Mother I need to know"[00:01:55]
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before[00:01:58]
"I seen the things my Daddy's done[00:02:04]
And I've seen the medals Daddy's won[00:02:07]
And I know that this is what he would have wanted for me"[00:02:10]
But your daddy well he died in the Falklands[00:02:18]
Fighting for another man's cause[00:02:24]
And your brother he was killed in the Last War[00:02:29]
And your mother well she's lying home alone[00:02:34]
Now she wonders at it all[00:02:41]
Just in whose name do these brave young heroes fall[00:02:45]
And how many more are going to answer that call[00:02:50]
They're going to fight and die in another country's war[00:02:55]
They're going die for a religion they don't believe in at all[00:03:00]
They're die in a place they should never have been at all[00:03:05]
Oh never have been at all[00:03:11]
'Cause your daddy well he died in the Falklands[00:03:13]
Fighting for another man's cause[00:03:20]
And your brother he was killed in the Last War[00:03:24]
And your mother well she's lying home alone[00:03:29]
And your daddy well he died in the Falklands[00:04:06]
Fighting for another man's cause[00:04:12]
And your brother he was killed in the Last War[00:04:16]
And your mother well she's lying home alone[00:04:21]
