The Medal Song - Lyrics - Waking Up With The House On Fire - Culture Club

Title: The Medal Song
Album: Waking Up With The House On Fire
Artist: Culture Club
Composer(s): Michael Craig, Jon Moss, Roy Hay, George O'Dowd

Lyric:
You used to say, love and be loved
All the time
Till you discovered
Feelings were a failure sign

When it rains it rains so hard
The tears begin to show
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know

Life will never be the same
As it was again
Life will never be the same
As it was again

Through my anger and my joy
My tears and pain
Life will never be the same
As it was again

Beneath the sea of Hollywood
Where Francis used to reign
They trade their deepest wishes
For a part in someone's game

Spirits die alone at night
For life they cannot hold
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show

Life will never be the same
As it was again
Life will never be the same
As it was again

Through my anger and my joy
My tears and pain
Life will never be the same
As it was again

We are just everyday people
Not a theater company
Everyone wants to join us
There's no fear in us you see
That's me for you and you for me

Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain

On the rain, on the rain
On the rain, on the rain
On the rain

Now I say love for love
Not for a space in time
The strangest things can shatter kings
And take away what's mine

When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show

Life will never be the same
As it was again
Life will never be the same
As it was again

Through my anger and my joy
My tears and pain
Life will never be the same
As it was again

Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain

Sun go east, sun go west
Sun go east, sun go west
Sun go east, sun go west

8th Of November - Lyrics - Comin' to Your City - Big &Amp; Rich

Title: 8th Of November
Album: Comin' to Your City
Artist: Big &Amp; Rich
Composer(s): John D Rich, Kenny Alphin

Lyric:
{Hello, I'm Kris Kristofferson
On November 8th, 1965, the 173rd Airborne Brigade on Operation Hump War Zone D in Vietnam were ambushed by over 1200 V.C.
Forty-eight American soldiers lost their lives that day}

{Severely wounded and riskin' his own life, Lawrence Joll, a medic
Was the first livin' black man since the Spanish-American War
To receive the United States Medal of Honor
For savin' so many lives in the midst of battle that day}

{Our friend, Nialls Harris, retired 25 years, United States Army
The guy who gave Big Kenny his top hat
Was one of the wounded who lived
This song is his story}

{Caught in the action of 'kill or be killed'
"Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend"}

Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the Red, White and Blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doin' what he had to do

He was dropped in the jungle
Where the choppers would rumble
With the smell of napalm in the air
Then the sergeant said, "Look up ahead"

Like a dark evil cloud, 1200 came down
On him and 29 more
They fought for their lives but most of them died
In the 173rd Airborne

On the 8th of November, the angels were cryin'
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire rainin' down and the hell all around
There were few men left standin' that day

Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965, the 8th of November

Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray
But the battle still plays in his head
He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
'Bout the shrapnel they left in his leg

He puts on a gray suit over his Airborne tattoo
And he ties it on one time a year
And remembers that fallen as he orders a tall one
And swallows it down with his tears

On the 8th of November, the angels were cryin'
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire rainin' down and the hell all around
There were few men left standin' that day

Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965, the 8th of November

Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965
(1965)

On the 8th of November, the angels were cryin'
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire rainin' down and the hell all around
There were few men left standin' that day

On the 8th of November, the angels were cryin'
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire rainin' down and the hell all around
There were few men left standin' that day

Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965, the 8th of November
8th of November
(8th of November)

Said goodbye to his Momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the Red, White and Blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doin' what he had to do
