With all the clarity of dream The sky's so blue, the grass's so green The rank and file and the navy blue The deep and strong, the straight and true ♪ The blue line they got the given sign The belts and boots march forward in time The wood and leather club and shield ♪ Swept like a wave across the battlefield ♪ Now with all the clarity of dream
The blood's so red, the grass's so green The gleam of spur on chestnut flank The cavalry did burst upon the ranks ♪ Oh the iron will and the iron hand ♪ In England's green and pleasant land No music for the shameful scene That night they said it had even shocked the queen ♪ Well alas we've seen it all before Knights in armour, days of yore The same old fears and the same old crimes We haven't changed since ancient times
