Girl in Camouflage Lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver

Three Points of Contact

2019

[Amy]
I was a wild one running in the back streets
Not impressive and nothing proud
I did the minimum anyone asked me
Often shouting but not too loud
Just blend in with the raging crowd
I gave my number to any comer come round
I did the things girls shouldn't do
'Cause I was toying with the devil to tame me, tame me
But the devil's like "Amy, Amy"
And all that devil did was chain me
A life in black
A life in grey
Drunk and high to keep my life at bay
'Cause in these colours in the city
It's not that hard to stay in the dark
In black and grey
And you wonder "Is this self-sabotage?"
No just a girl in camo
Girl in c-c-camouflage
Now I was scoopin' up tuna at the Subway
When this corporal got a number or three
Here's a woman who hits you like an alpha ray
She was all that I dreamed I'd be
And she handed this slip to me
She said "How would like to hang it high and tight
As a member of the semper fi?"
It wasn't long before she had me tearful, tearful
But also fearful, fearful
Still that Marine gave me an earful
A life in tan
A life in brown
Bearing khakis in a far off town
Cause in these colours in the desert
And the mission you've got down
You're a star (you're a star)
In tan and brown
Life is better with your own entourage
Come be a girl in camo
Girl in c-c-camouflage
Come join the girls in camo
Girls in c-c-camouflage
She said they needed a journalist stat
Only trick was I knew dick about that
But I said "Trust me I'll learn"
So in two weeks she'd return
And when she did I was ready
Dumb kid with camera steady
And soon I was deployed
And by the US Marine Corps gainfully employed
A life in black
And brown and green
You're a hero by the age 19
And in these colours in the world
They treat you like a queen
God I love (oh I love)
Brown, black and green
Oh I had purpose
And a dream that's no mirage
The proudest girl in camo
Girl in c-c-camouflage
Here's to the girls in camo
Girls in c-c-camouflage
Because no matter what the colour
In black or brown or green
The girl in camouflage
Was finally seen
