Southampton dock Lyrics
Artist(Band):Pink Floyd
They disembarked in 45
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled
There were too many spaces in the line.
Gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial Knifes.
But now
She stands upon Southampton dock
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock clings
To her wet body in the rain.
In quiet desperation knuckles
White upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys Goodbye again.
And still the dark stain spreads between
Their shoulder blades.
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.
And when the fight was over
We spent what they had made.
But in the bottom of our hearts
We felt the final cut.

Review about Southampton dock
Southampton Dock | Reviewer: GL | 8/16/2007
This song is about the promise of no more wars made to England after WWI and how they were now being shipped off to war again for the second world war.
The woman was trying to remain composed as she was witnessing another deployment of her countrymen at the same place the previous one had taken place.
Powerful song.
