Couldn't Hear Me Through the Crowd

I hope my comrades can’t see the shame that wells in my eyes
For them it’s honour to wear this uniform I despise
She told me the stories about her soldier dad
With no other options.
Thought she’d understand
The only work for farm boys is labouring on the land
But when it’s scorched, there’s only the shilling from the king’s hand
She told me the stories about the soldier lads.
Who lived out the childhood that she never had
As I felt the engine pull away,
All the station heard me screaming out aloud
I’m more than positive here
Her eyes followed the sound
But I guess she couldn’t hear me through the crowd
I know deep down inside that I’m not the same as the rest
I tell myself as I rip this locket from that man’s chest
She told me the stories of what her father had
But wages are wages
Thought she’d understand
As I felt the engine pull away,
All the station heard me screaming out aloud
I’m more than positive here
Her eyes followed the sound
But I guess she couldn’t hear me through the crowd
As I felt the engine pull away,
All the station heard me screaming out aloud
I’m more than positive here
Her eyes followed the sound
But I guess she couldn’t hear me through the crowd
I only wanted just enough to start,
A home to raise our daughter
As I felt the engine pull away,
All the station heard me screaming out aloud
I’m more than positive here
Her eyes followed the sound
But I guess she couldn’t hear me through the crowd
As I felt the engine pull away,
All the station heard me screaming out aloud
I’m more than positive here
Her eyes followed the sound
But I guess she couldn’t hear me through the crowd
but I guesss he couldn’t hear me through the crowd
