Bloody hell,you were right about that one.
 
"Shattered Glass" - I cant remember who sings it and "All around the World" by Lisa Stansfield bring back happy and sad memories of important ex lovers and immediately take me back to different and stranger and more dramatic times.

"The way we were" by Barbara Streisland gets me because when my Mum died I was only 12 and my Dad took her to the pictures to see this just before she became ill and in effect it was their last date.

" Dont get me wrong" by the Pretenders seemed to be a song that I associate with my old workplace where we all got made redundant this year and I spent 26 years there. It just came on the Radio the other day and I filled up.

Well how do you do, young Willie McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun?
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.
I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
When you joined the great fallen in Nineteen-Sixteen.
I hoped you died well, and I hoped you died clean,
Or young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?

Did they beat the drums slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
And did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

Did you leave any wife or a sweetheart behind?
In some faithful heart, is your memory enshrined?
Although you died back in Nineteen-Sixteen,
In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen?
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Enclosed in forever behind the glass frame
In an old photograph torn, battered and stained,
And faded to yellow in a brown, leather frame

Chorus: Beat the drums slowly

The sun now it shines on the green fields of France.
There's a warm, summer breeze that makes the red poppies dance.
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds:
There's no gas, no barbed wire; there's no guns firing down
But here in this graveyard, it's still no mans land,
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand,
To a man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned

Chorus: Beat the drums slowly

Ah, young Willie McBride, I can't help wonder why,
Do those that lie here, know why did they die?
And did they believe when they answered the call,
Did they really believe that this war would end wars?
Well, the sorrows, the suffering, the glory, the pain,
The killing and dying was all done in vain.
For young Willie McBride, it all happened again,
And again and again and again and again!

(Chorus repeated twice)
Did they beat the drums slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
And did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

And this one. Those who know me, know why
