"Wild Boys" as written by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, Roger Andrew Taylor, Andy Taylor and John Taylor....
The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
In August moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us, looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
You got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing wile you're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
They tried to tame you looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
In August moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us, looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
You got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing wile you're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
They tried to tame you looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

though being unrecognized is hardly exclusive to soldiers
BTW, Duranie, I'm sure you know that that wasn't the only time Simon was stuck under water. He also capsized his sailboat during a big regatta.
The breakup of the original group just needed to happen. It was obvious with this song and video that they'd reached the limit. Luckily it ended and the band's music became much stronger as a result. They began focusing more on the music and less on the image. Whilst the Arcadia album was not all that memorable, Notorious and Big Thing both have great album tracks that few people ever hear.
Imagine it as an analogy for growing up.
The wild boys are a group of teenagers. They all set out to have a good time and figure out the world, party, and cut loose. Now these boys are known to be party animals, and when they come back to thier hometown they are treated like strangers, and blamed for everything. They are trying to make these boys take on responcibility, but they want nothing of it. And in thier minds everything is telling them to fight it.
