Well I remember respectfully
Like others before me
All those folk who fell in the war
And I heard you singing songs of lamentation
But I don't wish to hear them no more
And
what
did
you
do
in
the
time
of
the
war?
Is a question asked by everyone
Well I stood in the line
My screwdriver in hand
Making aircraft out at Laverton
SO don't sing no songs about Waltzing Matilda
Don't tell me I tried, don't tell me I failed
'Cos all I recall is the scorn of the women
And the white feather that I received in the mail
Well I remember the day
I went down to enlist
And they said, Read
this
chart
on
the
wall
And I remember the tone
Of the voice of the doctor
As he said to me
That
will
be
all
thank
you
very
much
And riding home slowly, I sat on my tram
Not sure if to laugh or to cry
For to train in the camps
A man needs his lamps
And a good soldier
Must have good eyes
Well it takes more than bullets
To murder, to maim
Whether worn down or beaten
A death's still a death
And you know sometimes
When I think back to the forties
I pray for my very last breath
Oh you know, I have nothing
Against those who fought
But for Christ's sake
We do what we can
There's more than one way
That you can skin a cat
And there's more than one way
You can cripple a man
