XTC - Generals And Majors Lyrics






Generals and Majors ah ah
they're never too far
from battlefields so glorious
out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
till once again victorious

Generals and Majors always
seem so unhappy 'less they got a war

Generals and Majors ah ah
like never before are tired of being actionless.

Calling
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling
your World War III is drawing near

Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
away from men who made the grade
out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
until the battle's lost or made

Generals and Majors ah ah
like never before, are tired of being in the shade.

    They had to shoot this last minute before going on tour, otherwise the song wouldn't get played on radio somewhere.

  29. A.... B....

    I’ve never seen any of these, except for the Mayor of Simpleton. More, please!

  30. T.... T....

    Any dislikes should be for Richard Branson's appearance
