• Dog Tags Along

lyrics:

chorus:
marching soldiers clad in leather
stronger apart than they are together
dead hot sand in mouth and nose
as the sun on the horizon rose
Johnny boy, what got you shot?
was it your obedience or was it not?

you kicked him and punched him
and pushed him around
but like a good dog he still tags along
oh boy, where did I go wrong
I never found someone as good as him

you called him (by name or not -
who the hell cares)
and with two broken legs he’d still fly straight to you
what’s the secret, what’s a man gotta do
to get a loyal soldier live-in one

pre-chorus:
boy soldier - toy soldier
shot crushed shoulder - rolling boulder
far too heavy army boots
bullet holes in a captain’s suit
try holding a cup of tea
with hands riddled with PTSD

chorus

he says no and still comes along
his resistance is nonexistent
I want someone, too, who can make me tea
and then always complain as if he’d care about me
isn’t that exactly what John does with you

he’s a good soldier but face it
he’s a bad doctor, too
too fast with a gun and too slow with a knife
I’d never trust him with my life
what a nice bedrock for a partnership

chorus

his skin broken and scared
with a close-meshed net of battles
I don’t know where John begins and Dr Watson ends
one day he’s gonna bite the hand
that has fed him half his life

pre-chorus
