YouBmng men and Bmsoldiers, Enineteen fourtEeen.
MarBmching through couBmntries thEey'd never sEeen
VirBmgins with riBmfles, a gEame of chaErades
All Cfor a chiBmldren's crusaAde
Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
TheC children of EGngland would nCever be slGaves
TheCy're trapped on theBm wire and dying inG waves
The CFlower of EGngland fCace down in tGhe mud
And Cstained in the Bmblood of a whole generatiGon
Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History's lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
Bass line during instrumental is:
Repeat Chorus
Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty-four
Fixing in door ways, opium slaves
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children's crusade.
Fade.
