Booze & Glory - Never Returned Lyrics
He dropped outta school when he was 16He said: "mum and dad I'm gonna be a Royalmarine"So he went down to the AFCOAnd signed his name to the Queens payrollBasic training went down in the breezeDidn't break a sweat, he passed it with easeA lot dropped out but not our boyNext thing he knows, he is on foreign soilShoved to the front with a gun in his handThe boy that went out came back a different manHis eyes once bright, now seem dullI don't know what he saw, coz he never toldFor six month at a time he's on the front lineThen back home again to see his family and friendsBut time moves quick and he's off againThat's the last time he ll see themWas it worth all the broken hearts?Fighting wars that ain't even ours?Believe me or not but he did come backIn the wooden box drapped in Union Jack...DONT KNOW WHAT HE SAWHE NEVER SAID A WORDCOZ THAT BOY THAT WENT AWAY NEVER RETURNED...
