Poppy Day Lyrics - Legendary Pink Dots

We'll remember when that wreath is just a crown of thorns to drape 

around your helmet - hide out anywhere at all. We'll remember when 

you're no more than a poem on a grave - a sideline for the guy who 

writes the birthday cards but never signs his name. He's got your 

number, feels your pain... though you're smiling from the mantel-piece 

and you've got your rifle trained. It's pointing at the T.V. Shall 

we tell you when to fire? There's a programme we all hate... it's not 

a late show so you won't be tired. We remember how you loved the war 

films, and hid behind the sofa throwing balls of silver paper. We 

remember. We remember. We've got our poppies on. We hear the clock 

chime out eleven. We remember, we remember it's Poppy Day. (You 

shall not grow old!)
