Bilingual
Jack was born towards the end of the 19th century
ย
He married his sweetheart at the age of 23
ย
Shortly before the birth of their first child
ย
He answered the call of duty
ย
He carried English bayonets, in an English way
He smoked German cigarettes on Christmas Day
He never made it past 25, he died at Passchendaele
Fighting for the cause in the war to end all wars
ย
His son fell from a Spitfire in 1944
ย
Well Daddy what did you do in the Great War?
ย
And what did we learn the second time round?
Never again
Never again
ย
He carried English bayonets, in an English way
He smoked German cigarettes on Christmas Day
He never made it past 25, he died at Passchendaele
Fighting for the cause in the war to end all wars
ย
(Just keep on fighting, still we keep on fighting)
(Just keep on fighting, still we keep on fighting)
(Just keep on fighting, still we keep on fighting)
He carried English bayonets, in an English way
He smoked German cigarettes on Christmas Day
He never made it past 25, he died at Passchendaele
Fighting for the cause in the war to end all wars
