Fascinating track. Minimal but quite captivating layers.

JAN29TH - The Tale Of The Tape

Prairie Ride

My all-synth version of the 1980 hit.

Our little army boy 
Is coming home from B.F.P.O. 
I've a bunch of purple flowers 
To decorate mummy's hero
Mourning in the aerodrome
The weather warmer, he is colder
Four men in uniform 
To carry home my little soldier
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
(What could he do)
(Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do)
(Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste 
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of 
Army dreamers
Tears o'er a tin box
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
Like a chicken with a fox
He couldn't win the war with ego
Give the kid the pick of pips
And give him all your stripes and ribbons
Now he's sitting in his hole
He might as well have buttons and bows
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
(What could he do)
(Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do)
(Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste 
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of 
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of all that 
Army dreamers
Army dreamers
Army dreamers, oh
