New Model Army - Courage
Courage
New Model Army

We walk every morning in silence

Past the mills on Whetley Lane
Where the lights went out for the very last time



And they never came on again

The spokesman all shred crocodiles tears

But the proudest eyes are long since dry
In the glory of the News at Ten


And they're never going to cry again


Ch: Dear Friend, I salute your courage and I toast to your health
And I wish you all the luck in the whole wide world


May you never be broken like they say you will



Waking up sudden from a nightmare
With a shaven head to the slaughterhouse and you never came back again

But she took me in her arms and she held me

Close tight for a minute or two

And we laughed and smiled and closed our eyes

And the way that it is, the way that it really is
Slept again thinking of you


With the money talking and a scapegoat lover

With the painted face of a scolding mother

And I salute your courage and I toast to your health
And I wish you all the luck in the whole wide world

May you never be broken like they say you will be



Now lost in time, cut off from history


This is not knowledge, this is information
