What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
How to make amends
2
for the things they said
3
The girls avoid the stormy sky
4
But I and my cloudy face
5
Will be gone, high-tailing out of here
6
Is the lights a-blazing
7
in their lonely town?
8
I love the little cars
9
at dawn
10
But I and my heathen heart
11
Will be lain
12
upon some foreign shore
13
Here's the saddest Joe
14
on the corner of the town
15
"Listen to the words!" he cries
16
I love him in his craziness,
17
his tatters and his courage
18
He'll thumb his nose
19
at the straight and true
20
When the boys come marching home
21
They'll fly his rags from the highest tree
22
When the boys come marching home
23
(when the boys come marching home)
24
(home, marching home)
25
Aching for some innocence
26
and peace of mind
27
While the moon pulls up its net of souls
28
The sun presses down
29
on my brave new world
30
But, in truth, i don't feel brave at all.
31
Leave it all behind me
32
to the townies and the wags
33
The kids who never learned
34
to smile
35
While I and the cobbled nag
36
I ride
37
Stumble down
38
another weary mile
39
Here's to those who cluster,
40
Walking through the wars
41
The girls who never close
42
'til dawn
43
They rag upon the feeble
44
And they swan around the stronger
45
But their eyes are fixed
46
on the edge of town
47
When the boys come marching home
48
They'll slide from view - tiny, two by two
49
When the boys come marching home
50
(home, marching home)
51
(home, marching home)
52
When the boys come marching home
53
(when the boys come marching home)
54
Boys come marching home
55
(home, marching home)
56
(home, when the boys come marching home)
57
(home, marching home)
58
(home)
59
(when the boys come marching home)
