POPPY
(Heaton/Rotheray)
From: "Alessandro Ott" <alexott@ipsnet.it>
F Am
I fought hard in the Second World War
D E
You hear them shout
F Am
No good bragging about the Africa Korps
D E
It was Beadle's About
F Am D
E
They dressed you up and took you off to World War One
F Am D E
Armed you and surrounded you with wire
F Am D E
Sat in stinking mud you sung your stupid songs
F Am D E
And waited till they told you when to fire
C E
Cause the rulers always laugh
F D
at the video bloodbath
C E
Nothing makes them laugh
F G
Like a video bloodbath
From the First World War to the Yom-Kippur
It was Beadle's About
The bayonets slice, the rockets roar
and he jumps out
Fond memories of the bloody bridge you failed to hold
Many of your buddies killed or maimed
You would've shot at rabbits if that's what you'd been told
Till the General said "I'm sorry you've been framed"
Cause the rulers always laugh
at the video bloodbath
And nothing gets a laugh
Like a video bloodbath
CHORUS
Am Em
Keep those entries coming
Am Em
leave those cameras running
Am Em
Keep those entrails coming
Am Em
Leave those soldiers gunning
Because you're sure to get a laugh
With a video bloodbath
Nothing gets a laugh
Like a video bloodbath
Here's a wacky video we got last week
A bomb catches Arthur unawares
He's lost both his arms and he can't see or speak
But thank you for the memory you shared
Cause the rulers always laugh
at the video bloodbath
And nothing gets a laugh
Like a video bloodbath
