The Battle of Goose Green

I joined the British army when I was just eighteen
so proud to wear that uniform a soldier of the queen
t'was the year of 1982 we sailed from Portsmouth quay
we were heading for the Falkland isles to set our people free
but we little knew what lay in store at the battle for goose green

My sweetheart was a Hampshire lass the prettiest girl I'd seen
she swore that she would wait for me a soldiers wife she'd be
we pledged our love to god above for all eternity
midst all the flags and cheering but our love could never be
for a cruel fate awaited me at the battle of goose green

When president Galtieri invaded the Falklands green
he gave that iron lady her opportunity
we'll raise the flag and the battle cry fight on 'til victory
but it wasn't they who had to die at the hands of savagery
it was they who started this misery and the battle of goose green

When the carnage it was ended and Britannia ruled the waves
they gathered up the dead ones and dug a massive grave
they buried them all together the cost of liberty
victims of a senseless war and mindless lunacy
and I Was Left just half a man from the battle of goose green

The maimed the burned the wounded they shipped us all back home
and I got a nice new wheelchair to cart my shattered bones
and now I'm 42 years old how many more to go
my body's twisted and paralysed I feel so bloody low
what the hell were we all fighting for in the battle for goose green

a curse on politicians game and the battle of goose green
nothing gained if nothing learned from the battle of goose green
