David Bowie - She's Got Medals lyrics

She`d walk through the door and she`d set up the drinks on the house

She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped her back

And never took her out

She wore a trenchcoat khaki

Her hobnail boots were full of holes

She`s got medals

Her mother called her Mary, but she changed her name to Tommy, she`s a one, oh

She went and joined the army, passed the medical

Don`t ask me how it`s done

They sent her to the front line

Fighting for her country`s name

She`s got medals

She got very tired of picking up girls

Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls

Then the enemy dropped a bomb

Survivors there were none

People say that when the moon is full and all the stars have gone to bed

You can see her ghost but that`s a lie because the naughty woman isn`t dead

She deserted on the previous morning

Replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green

Called herself Eileen

Came to London town

Now she`s settled down

She`s got medals
