The Playing Fields Of England by These Guitars Say Sorry critiques the glorification of war and questions the romanticized ideals of heroism often associated with it. The song emphasizes the sacrifices made by ordinary soldiers and challenges the notion that war is something to be celebrated or revered.  These Guitars Say Sorry's  folk-inspired songwriting style, is accompanied by his percussive acoustic guitar playing acting as the perfect backdrop for the song's post punk lyrics.

On the playing fields of England
There are battles won and lost
I have seen them fought so many times I had almost forgot
That it's a pleasure and an honor as you go out to die
I'd do it all a thousand times for the old school tie

So hold your head up high
So I can see you're full of pride
As you lay down your life
On the playing fields of England

Past the ranks of blue and gray
Into the old school hall
You can read the roll of honor or heed the distant call
Like your father before you, you'll tread a distant land
You didn't learn the first time, so now you're going back

I look in your eyes and I can see the pain
And then you ask me who's to blame
I told you it was much more than a game
On the playing fields of England

Nobody thought to question why you went to die
Bravely put on the uniform and joined the end of the line
But age brings with it wisdom, but you'll never grow old to know
On the playing fields of England, you will reap what you have sown

As they fly your body homeward, draped in your country's flag
Past lines of grieving relatives who know you're never coming back
On the playing fields of England was where you chose to play
But a generation of you went marching to the grave

As you lie facing the sky, I can only wonder why
You believed a pack of lies about the playing fields of England
The playing fields of England

The Playing Fields Of England - These Guitars Say Sorry [folk music | protest songs]

Translation:

Couplet 1.
If you want to, you can drown
Asleep in alcohol or tobacco smoke.
Take my hand and open your soul
Cause if you jump, I'll jump with you.

Chorus:
Listen to me...
You're just a candle flame, in a night without hope!
And love can't do everything...

Couplet 2.
But after winter comes spring,
Where there was eternal ice, there will be water.
And your heart is poisoned again:
Another man's toy, another man's love.

Chorus.
Listen to me...
You're just a candle flame in a night without hope!
And love can't do everything...
But it's like I'm blind and your faint light
I can't seem to find my way.

Пламя свечи (Candle flame)

Hey Girl

I Wanna Write You A Song

cryin out, all inside, your so far
Holdin' onto moments, driftin' apar,   
somethin' felt wrong, saw it in your eyes,  
Pretendin' everythin's fine, hidin' the lies.
