  • Motorhead 1916



    Sixteen years old
    when I went to the war
    To fight for a land fit for heroes
    God on my side
    and a gun in my hand
    Chasing my days down to zero

    And I marched, and I fought
    And I bled, and I died
    And I never did get any older
    But I knew at the time
    That a year in the line
    Was a long enough life for a soldier

    We all volunteered
    An dwe wrote down our names
    And we added two years to our ages
    Eager for life
    And ahead of the game
    Ready for history's pages

    And we brawled, and we fought
    And we hoped to be stuped
    Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder
    At thirst for the Hun
    We were food for the gun
    And that's what you are when you're soldiers

    I heard my friend cry
    As he sank to his knees
    Coughing blood as he screemed for his mother
    And I fell by his side
    And that's how we died
    Clinging like kids to each other

    And I lay in the mud, and the guts and the blood
    And I wept as his body grew colder
    And I called for my mother, but she never came
    Though it wasn't my fault, and I wasn't to blame
    The day not half over, and ten thousand slain
    And now there's nobody remembers our names
    And that's how it is
    For each soldier

    Nice one, that's the most laidback Motorhead song I've ever heard, Lemmy must finally be getting old.
    I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.

        Funny I had the same thought, turns out its the title track from his 1991 Album "1916"
