Scarlet Snow Lyrics by The Go Set

The Hungry Mile

0

Jimmy stood in the centre of the town
Said 'come one, come all I've news to tell
All men of age and fit, are asked to do their bit
For duty binds us all to king and land'
Setting off, on the train to Melbourne Town
Word said this would end by Christmas day
And fixing bayonet, up to knees in mud and shit
Those words had never seemed so far away
Well the night was bitter cold, and the white had fallen thick
As they climbed the wall and charged towds the line
Through the smoke and thunder, as the shells hit the ground
Was a moment in the madness where neither heard a sound
For frozen men and metal, that littered all the field
Were covered for a moment by the winters soft white yield
And Clem had fallen down in all the noise and rapid rain
Time stopped for a moment, and would never start again
Lay down your guns and be brothers once again, they said
Lay down your guns, lay down your guns
They lay there in each others arms in that shell hole in the field
The snow below them turned a scarlet red
Not a word was spoken, but his eyes had turned to grey
One last breath of mist drew out, and gently blew away
Lay down your guns boys, head the ships for south across the sea:..
