[Verse 1]
You valiant old soldier
Go home
You sorry old bad girl
Go home

[Chorus]
‘Cause by now you’ve seen it all
Just relax now and recall
All your stories
Forever and ever

[Verse 2]
Who will stand by you
No one
No brother, no cousin
No one

[Chorus]
But by now you know it all
So relax now and recall
All your stories
Forever and ever

[Verse 3]
Oh now goodness knows
You might have done better
But then heaven knows
You might have done worse
If you lit up
The occasional candle
You’re allowed the occasional curse
