Lyrics to:
She's Got Medals
From David Bowie
By David Bowie




She'd walk through the door and she'd set up the drinks  
on the house 
She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped  
her back  
And never took her out 
She wore a trenchcoat khaki 
Her hobnail boots were full of holes 
She's got medals 
Her mother called her Mary, she changed her name to Tommy, 
she's a one, oh  
She went and joined the army, passed the medical 
Don't ask me how it's done 
They sent her to the front line 
Fighting for her country's name 
She's got medals 
She got very tired of picking up girls 
Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls 
Then the enemy dropped a bomb 
Survivors there were none 
People say that when the moon is full and all the stars have gone to bed 
You can see her ghost but that's a lie because the naughty woman isn't dead 
She deserted on the previous morning 
Replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green 
Called herself Eileen 
Came to London town 
Now she's settled down 
She's got medals
