Broken Heroes (BBC in Concert Hammersmith 1985) Lyrics

They came to fight for glory in their thousands
Young men with their dreams
They died before the guns for their country
A book of faded pictures, broken dreamsWhere are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they nowThe broken heroes Uncle Sam is waiting with the draft card
He says you've got to fight the Vietcong
The stations full of flags and rule Britannia
The engine pulls you out towards the SommeWhere are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they nowThe broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroesWhere are they now
Where are they now
Where are they nowThe broken heroes The pipes are calling young men back to Belfast

The general says you march to Stalingrad
You rode into the valley with the hundred
Seven lonely graves on Goose GreenWhere are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they nowThe broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
Where are they now
