Melancholy Soldiers (Live From The Hammersmith Odeon,United Kingdom/1980) - Skids

Who fed you to the lions

When hanging from a tree

It's a case of melancholy

There's no tourists at the sea

Twelve saw decaying monuments

While marching on attack

Eleven watched a single

Thus continued on the march

Pin point toward horizon

Convalescent to the last

A moment lost of imagery

The last word to the cast

Won't you listen to the danger

The last word to the cast

Won't you listen to the danger

I can't listen any more

This

To march along

This

On undwelt seed

This

Is a panorama

This

Is a soldier's creed

From this

Came a stranger

All the marching seemed to halt

From this came a moment

Then the march led to assault

The dwellers took position

While commanding genocide

The enemy were helpless

And there's lots more besides

This

To march along

This

On undwelt seed

This

Is a panorama

This

Is a soldier's creed

From this

This
