Decemberists
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Ambling madly all over the town
2
The call to arms you likened to a whisper
3
I likened to a radio
4
You were a brick bat, a Bowery tough, so rough
5
They called you from a cartoon
6
Pulled out of your pantaloons
7
But you, my brother in arms
8
I'd rather I'd lose my limbs
9
Than let you come to harm
10
But you, my bombazine doll
11
The bullets may singe your skin
12
And the mortars may fall
13
But I, I never felt so much life
14
Than tonight huddled in the trenches
15
Gazing on the battlefield
16
Our rifles blaze away, we blaze away
17
Corporal Bradley of regiment five
18
In proud array standing by the bathing
19
Soldiers and the stevedores
20
We laid on the mattress and tumbled to sleep
21
Our eyes aligned, swaddled in our civvies
22
Cradled in our dungarees
23
But you, my brother in arms
24
I'd rather I'd lose my limbs
25
Than let you come to harm
26
But you, my bombazine doll
27
The bullets may singe your skin
28
And the mortars may fall
29
But I, I never felt so much life
30
Than tonight, huddled in the trenches
31
Gazing on the battle field
32
Our rifles blaze away, we blaze away
33
We blaze away, we blaze away
