Lyrics

If he comes back I know just what he’ll say:
Let’s show this day a proper night and celebrate!
Long gone the weeks of white lines and punctured veins
The day all generations cried
Sign em up sign em up sign em up
it’s time we make a man outta you.
Line em up line em up line em up
Man, now we’re gonna make a ghost of you.

He came back, but he wasn’t the same.
Sleep showed him nights lit like the day, and life for the take.
I caught him in the morning pulling sandbags from the drain.
While his imagination shouted
Line em up line em up line em up
Man, now we’re gonna make a ghost of you.
Sign em up sign em up sign em up
it’s time we make a man outta you.

Remember when we played
Wounded soldiers
Broken glass
Half empty bottles
Dying fast
We stayed awake til it was yesterday,
and long past.

But he never really escaped
Wounded soldiers
Broken glass
Half empty bottles
Dying fast
Awake til it was yesterday,
and long past
