Twelfth Night Collectors Item Sequences 16:21 And it seems my time has passed Before me until now In sequences of moments And now I see this poster They seem to need me anyway I'll take the shilling sign I'll make a positive move To be an action man The woman seem to want us to go And so I can't refuse So I find myself in a country somewhere Where mayhem's madman minions All march around a square Unquestioning obedience Is the order of the day Your friends are coloured khaki And your enemies are grey THE SERGEANT-MAJOR'S PEP-TALK "Alright my likely lads You've left your mums and dads, now Our glorious leaders start a war To protect the 'ole of 'umankind That's why they always stay be'ind What d'ya mean 'Isn't it wrong to kill?' Not if the top men say so! Where you're going sonny General's top chap Next to him you're a small piece of crap If none of us went out of fight We'd never prove our side was right Now would we? ATTENTION!" THE COLONEL'S PEP-TALK "The front line is a pretty bloody place to be That's why you go instead of me Now I'd hate to send you all off thinking That if you get yours you're going to fret About your families, so don't They'll get some lovely souvenirs A nice bronze plaque On which will be your name You'll get free crutches if you end up lame 'Though the numbers of dead Will contain many zeros The survivors will return To a land fit for heroes Now would I lie to you? PRESENT ARMS! Put next to a young boy In a knee-deep trench Whose hand even trembles When he keeps it clenched We attack tomorrow In dawn's early light And as this sinks in I'm so scared I can't wait for it and tonight To be over ALRIGHT MEN: OVER THE TOP WE GO! I can't make it I just can't take it I trip, strumbling Caught in the barbed wire Amongst the heat And smoke of the crossfire It's madness, madness On a station platform Full of stretchered flesh and bone Legacy of how easy it is To destroy whatever's grown Well maybe there's a reason That is worthy of a name Just sick illusions That I suppose will happen again Well, next time they ask for men At least I'm beyond recall I didn't gain my self-respect I didn't gain anything at all If hate and war could solve anything Don't you think they'd have solved it A long time ago? There's good and evil in all of us It's up to you alone Which you follow I know which is my cause from now on The only one worth sacrifice The only one I would have remain When I'm gone - The flags we weave Only deceive We must believe We must believe ...
