Lyrics : David Bowie
Music : David Bowie
Producer : David Bowie
How to make amends for the things they say?
The girls avoid the stormy sky
But I and my cloudy face
Will be gone, high-tailing out of here
Is the lights a-blazin' in their lonely town?
I love the little cars at dawn
But I and my heathen heart
Will be lain upon some foreign shore
Here's the saddest Joe on the corner of the town
"Listen to the words" he cries
I love him in his craziness, his tatters and his courage
He'll thumb his nose at the straight and true
When the boys come marching home
They'll fly his rags from the highest tree
When the boys come marching home
(When the boys come marching home)
(Home, marching home)
Aching for some innocence and peace of mind
While the moon pulls up its net of souls
The sun presses down on my brave new world
But in truth, I don't feel brave at all
Leave it all behind me, to the townies and the wags
The kids who never learned to smile
While I and the cobbled nag I ride
Stumble down another weary mile
Here's to those who cluster
Walking through the wars
The girls who never close till dawn
They rag upon the feeble
And they swan around the stronger
But their eyes are fixed on the edge of town
When the boys come marching home
They'll slide from view, tiny, two by two
When the boys come marching home
(Home, marching home)
(Home, marching home)
When the boys come marching home (When the boys come marching home)
Boys come marching home (Home, marching home)
(Home, when the boys come marching home)
(Home, marching home)
(Home)
(When the boys come marching home)
