SOTD #6
Today’s song is Another Man’s Cause by The Levellers
Every day she sees his face
On the picture on the fireplace
With your brother as he was leaving school
Then a day came five years ago
You said “Mother, I need to know”
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
“I know the things my Daddy done
And I’ve seen the medals that he won
And I know this is what he would have wanted for me”
But your Daddy, he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man’s cause
And your brother was killed in the last war
Now your mother’s lying at home alone
This song came out several years before we embarked on the current war on terror, but it’s as relevant today as its ever been. War is stupid, it tears families apart and those left behind have to pick up the pieces the best they can. As someone once said, “Not in my name”
