Happy St Georges Day

[JPO]

As per the title.......

Corporal Fox

My God, it was cold in the Falklands
When the stars and the flares shone out clear,
But at least I had mates to share jokes with
It’s much colder and lonelier here.
And that sharp piece of Argentine shrapnel
It’s hurt me for many a year
But not like when you look straight through me,
Pretending I’m not even here.

My God, we were thirsty in Kuwait
And choking in dust we went dry
But we shed a few tears for our Gary
When a mine took his legs and he died
And knowing the next step could kill me
I thought it had taught me of fear
Til I see how you look straight through me
Pretending I’m not even here.

My God, I was angry to hear it
When ‘home’ from the army I came:
There were flats for Iraqis and Afghans
But never a one with my name.
I thought that the council would sort it
Til a desk clerk with spiky green hair
Said “next please” and looked straight through me
Pretending I just wasn’t there.

So I swear and I curse and I mutter
Though the anger is mainly inside
Without hope there’s no disappointment
There’s no one out there on my side.
I know the White Lightning will kill me
Don’t you see that I really don’t care?
It helps me to look straight through you
And pretend that I’m not quite all there.

So I live where the police cars can’t see me
In my rags and my old cardboard box
And there’s no one would notice me vanish
Except for my mate, Corporal Fox.
Two broken old squaddies together
In winter we share the same lair
And I bring him some bones from our Colonel
So he doesn’t pretend I’m not there.

Hmm how thought provoking is that! Nice one Ian.

Fucking disgrace that St George's Day isn't celebrated anymore..

Apparently OUR flag is a sign of the right wing

Yep, from their party political broadcast. Hard to argue with many of their policies, I have to say. Looks like we're stuck with Tony for another term though. Enjoy your cars while you can folks...

Who the fuck would vote labour? I demand a recount :evil_mad:
