| Mark Knopfler – Done With Bonaparte Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| As a student of Nelson and the Napoleonic wars, I love the lyrics to this song....it captures the heartbreak most of Napoleon's soldiers felt who survived his many campaigns.....and now desired to go home....this song I think is a metaphor for all the common soldiers of any wars at any time....regardless of the motivation...it recminds me of when Guderian visited Hitler after Moscow and saw all the books Hitler had on Napoleon's Moscow campaign.....paraphrasing...."too bad he (Hitler) didn't read/learn anything from them".....this song could apply to all the Germans lost on the Eastern front.... | |
