Gulf War Song

[Verse 1]
He came from a northern town
Got sick of hanging 'round
Met with some simple girl
Seemed to brighten up his world
Housekeeper, friend and nurse
They got married, he got worse
Took to a soldier's life
Never saw his wife

[Chorus]
Said things would not be the same without you
I will change all those things that I do
And I miss you and the cold English rain
Things will change
When the ships sail home again

[Verse 2]
She seems so far away
He wrote three times a day
In the desert, nothing doing
Camouflage and tea can brewing
Got no order to movе out
Rumours rife, life in doubt
Sometimеs felt like screaming out
Mouth too dry to shout

[Chorus]
Said things would not be the same without you
I will change all those things that I do
Now I miss you and the cold English rain
Things will change
When the ships sail home again

[Bridge]
The colonel said "You'll be alright
The Arabs will not bite at night
You've been well-trained
So just sit tight
And keep your gas masks near"

[Verse 3]
That brought him down to earth
Found out what life was worth
And never seemed so sweet
Nor did civilian street
Came wandering home again
In the summer, down the lane
Realized he never knew
That her eyes were blue
