Iraq War 5 Years On, Happy Birthday!

The Ballad of the Flat Caps

Fighting soldiers who like pie
Fearless men who say fuck aye
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men are a little ghey

Warts and moles over their chest
These are men, the UK's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three will be arsed to stay

Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, balls-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
An hour for lunch tea breaks with pay

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Flat cap man has met his fate
He has died killing those oppressed
Leaving her his last request

Put my flat cap on my son's head
Why should I be the only one dead?
Hes not mine hes from the fling you had
Have him die like I killed his dad.

I always have to wipe a tear from me eye after hearing that song, well to be honest my sphincter muscles haven't been the same since I was taken by the Arabs during the first Gulf war or the Crusades as we called it my brown eye is prone to shed the odd tear.




Somewhere in the fog of war
A transmitter crackles to life.
