e: Sat, 21 Mar 1998 21:55:12 -0800 (PST) She's Got Medals by David Bowie (From "London Boy" and many other compilations of his pre-"Space Oddity" days) She'd walk through the door and she'd set up the drinks on the house She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped her back, never took her out. She wore a trenchcoat garkey(?), her hobnail boots were full of holes. She's got medals. Her mother called her Mary but she changed her name to Tommy, she's a one. She went and joined the army, passed the medical, don't ask me how it's done. They sent her to the front line, fighting for her country's name She's got medals. She got very tired of picking up girls, Cleaning her gun, and shaving her curls Then the enemy dropped a bomb, survivors there were none! People say that when the moon is full and when the stars have gone to bed You can see a ghost but that's a lie because the naughty woman isn't dead. She deserted on the previous morning, replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green Called herself Eileen, came to London town, now she's settled down. She's got medals.
