REMEMBER
(Skaith)
In the house of the almighty Lord,
They all shall come, the great, the small
The have-nots and the have-it-all shall enter
There’s a body from a foreign war
Draped in flag, the bugle calls
To pray in sorrow, but bless the cause
Remember.
Shall we not remember?
But would the man from Verdun speak of ‘glory’
If he laid the wreath?
And if the empire called again, would he defend her?
And what of those who held Madrid
While Washington and London hid?
Or those that kept the Athens bridge
Traitored by an allied kiss?
Shall we not remember?
And who believes He came to die
For uniforms where padres hide
To bless the violence on our side
Knowing smaller nations cry?
‘Thou shalt not kill’
Unless of course the meek shall try
And share the earth
With those who found their power at birth.
Remember.
Shall we not remember?

EDDIE
(Skaith, Jones, Keefe.)
Looking at the water,
Through the spaces of an iron ore train.
The water eddies round the rushes
And Eddie’s round at my house insane.
The breakers in the distance,
Cut the air like the crackle of a CB rig
They found a crack in Eddie
And they tore him down and snapped him like a twig.
His head is full of Goose Green
Tastes the smoke from the damp grass well alight
Eddie’s waiting for the choppers
And he goes on waiting long into the night
And I thought I heard a voice.
Didn’t someone here just whisper ‘Rejoice’?
And the harbour’s full of newsmen
Little boats go bobbing like a Dunkirk repeat
To a train ride and a welcome
And ‘Well Done, Eddie!’ right across the street.
The water’s grey and choppy
On the lake out by the fairground big wheel
Oh we could circle it forever
But we’d never guess the way that Eddie feels.
Yea we could circle it forever
But we’d never guess the way that Eddie feels.
