New Model Army - Courage Lyrics
We walk every morning in silencePast the mills on Whetley LaneWhere the lights went out for the very last timeAnd they never came on againThe spokesman all shred crocodiles tearsIn the glory of the News at TenBut the proudest eyes are long since dryAnd they're never going to cry againCh: Dear Friend, I salute your courage and I toast to your healthAnd I wish you all the luck in the whole wide worldMay you never be broken like they say you willWaking up sudden from a nightmare - you were walking the line in painWith a shaven head to the slaughterhouse and you never came back againBut she took me in her arms and she held meClose tight for a minute or twoAnd we laughed and smiled and closed our eyesSlept again thinking of youAnd the way that it is, the way that it really isWith the money talking and a scapegoat loverWith the painted face of a scolding motherAnd I salute your courage and I toast to your healthAnd I wish you all the luck in the whole wide worldMay you never be broken like they say you will beNow lost in time, cut off from historyThis is not knowledge, this is information
