Army Dreamers Lyrics
Artist(Band):Kate Bush
Review The Song (7)Print the Lyrics
"B.F.P.O.*"
Army dreamers.
"Mammy's hero."
"B.F.P.O."
"Mammy's hero."

Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero.

Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder.
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier.

"What could he do?
Should have been a rock star."
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
"What could he do?
Should have been a politician."
But he never had a proper education.
"What could he do?
Should have been a father."
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers.

Tears o'er a tin box.
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He couldn't win the war with ego.

Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
Now he's sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows.

"What could he do?
Should have been a rock star."
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
"What could he do?
Should have been a politician."
But he never had a proper education.
"What could he do?
Should have been a father."
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of all that
Army dreamers,
Army dreamers,
Army dreamers, oh...

("B.F.P.O.")
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
Army dreamers.
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
("Mammy's hero.")
("B.F.P.O.")
Army Dreamers.
("Mammy's hero.")
("B.F.P.O.")
No harm heroes.
("Mammy's hero.")
("B.F.P.O.")
Army dreamers.
("Mammy's hero.")
("B.F.P.O.")
No harm heroes.
("Mammy's hero.")
("B.F.P.O.")
Mammy's darling.
("Mammy's hero.")

Review about Army Dreamers

army dreamers | Reviewer: SOPHIE | 3/28/2008

This is one of those songs that i had to look at the lyrics to really work out what they mean.

but once i had i think its fascinating.
the words really fit.
and even though it was written a while ago it still shows the Army as it is at the moment.
they dont know what they are getting themselfs in for.
but yes i really love this song.
Kate bush is cool to :) weird voice



just cry | Reviewer: neba | 11/22/2007

the voce and the lirics are like the sun with blue sky; when i reed the lirics i just cry.
very expresive.



Kate Bush is AWESOME :] | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/2007

Kate Bush is still one of my favorite singers of all time. In all her songs the lyricks are written with meaning and purpose, instead of just throwing some words together because they rhyme. Thanks for the lyricks :]

Army Dreamers | Reviewer: Bradley Duncan | 2/4/2007

Im 11 yearsold and my mate call me for this song but i think it is so great. i hate songs without a meaning. But this does. 10/10 :D



Powerful song, hard to listen to | Reviewer: Howard | 4/4/2006

With two young sons in the military, one serving in Afghanistan, this song which has had so much meaning to me as a baby boomer is harder to listen to as I try and come to grips with the fact that in spite of the attempts at peaceful approaches sometimes we have to make peace in a hard and costly way.

The word are so poignently accurate in describing athe terrible side of a soldiers return home. The background military rhythm and sounds are way to real to sit comfortably with me now.

Yet more than ever I feel we must support our men and women in theatre as long as our country is involved in seeking a longterm peace.
