So sad to see that we seem not to have learned how to be tolerant of each other....so many people on both sides died, I lost friends out there and I hope we never go back to those times. I love this song even though it makes me cry...
God bless all those who served, especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. To all those whose bravery went unnoticed, I thank you and can never repay you for what you've done for me. God bless the British Forces. HUGE ❤& RESPECT TO YOU ALL.

@@geraldrafter4202 British soldiers went to Northern Ireland to protect the people from the Terrorists. Your a disgrace to Ireland by supporting the terrorists.
@@geraldrafter4202 you sir are a clown those men were lead by blind politicians who know nothing those lads no wished to be there only asked to do there duty to a false monarchy your bitterness means absolutely nothing
You do realise that Ulster is an ancient Irish province that existed 100's of years before any Prod or orange bastard appeared in it and its made up of 9 counties and not just 6? The stolen part won't be british for much longer so get used to it.
Bit late to all this but here are the lyrics In the station in the city a British soldier stood Talking to the people there if the people would Some just stared in hatred and others turned in pain And the lonely British soldier wished he was back home again "Come join the British army" Said the posters in his town "See the world and have your fun, come serve before the crown" The jobs were hard to come by and he could not face the dole So he took his country's shilling and enlisted on the roll But there was no fear of fighting, the Empire long was lost Just ten years in the army, getting paid for being bossed Then leave a man experienced, a man who's made the grade A medal and a pension, some memories and a trade Then came the call to Ireland as the call had come before Another bloody chapter in an endless civil war The priests they stood on both sides, the priests they stood behind Another fight in Jesus' name, the blind against the blind The soldier stood between them, between the whistling stones And then the broken bottles that led to broken bones The petrol bombs that burned his hands, the nails that pierced his skin And wished that he had stayed at home surrounded by his kin The station filled with people, the soldier soon was bored But better in the station than where the people warred The room filled up with mothers, with daughters and with sons Who stared with itchy fingers at the soldier and his guns A yell of fear, a screech of brakes, a shattering of glass The window of the station broke to let the package pass A scream came from the mothers as they ran towards the door Dragging children crying from the bomb upon the floor The soldier stood and could not move, his gun he could not use He knew the bomb had seconds and not minutes on the fuse He could not run to pick it up and throw it in the street There were far too many people there, too many running feet "Take cover!" Yelled the soldier, "Take cover for your lives!" And the Irishmen threw down their young and stood before their wives They turned towards the soldier, their eyes alive with fear "For God's sake, save our children, or they'll end their short lives here" The soldier moved towards the bomb, his stomach like a stone Why was this his battle, God, why was he alone? He laid down on the package and he murmured one farewell To those at home in England, to those he loved so well He saw the sights of summer, felt the wind upon his brow The young girls in the city parks, how precious were they now? The soaring of the swallow, the beauty of the swan The music of the turning earth so soon would it be gone A muffled soft explosion and the room began to quake The soldier blown across the floor, his blood a crimson lake They never heard him cry or shout, they never heard him moan And they turned their children's faces from the blood and from the bone The crowd outside soon gathered and the ambulances came To carry off the body of a pawn lost to the game And the crowd they clapped and jeered, and they sang their rebel songs "One soldier less to interfere where he did not belong" And will the children growing up learn at their mother's knee The story of the soldier who bought their liberty? Who used his youthful body as the means towards the end Who gave his life to those who called him murderer not friend
Some folk would do well to remember the freedoms our heroes fought and died for in this country before trying to deface our cenotaphs. Lest we Forget. QS.
The version of this song that I have is so much more heartbreaking. .. god bless all our boys MURDERED by Filthy COWARDS... god bless and keep them all safe.

Had the original record when it came out sadly it was banned at the time.. It is a shame this singer does not know the words or the tune for that matter A true store of a true hero and not intended to glorify the troubles in any way

Accordingly to the song, loyalists were "blind" too; and accordingly to the song, the soldier sacrificed himself to protect people around him, not for the glory of the crown.
It says he joined for the crown; but in that moment he was doing it for those around him, whom were citizens of the crown. It’s not a partisan song, not all Catholics are nationalists and not all Protestants unionists.
Why would he dive on a crown numb nuts? , it was kids!, so thats what a close brethren would do!, you just interest yourself in ya own country and not others.... A very stupid naive comment....
@@benmalone8734 The only part which is true in the song was yes there was a woman there and the rest was soldiers and RUC men. So he died to save his own and the RUC.
It's a shame that all British soldiers are tarred with the same brush by Republicans. They are only about simply because it's their job & they have to be there so that their families back home are provided for. At the start of the Troubles it was the British soldiers, and NOT the IRA, who protected the Republican communities in Belfast from angry mobs of Loyalists who were out for their blood. They were never thanked for saving their lives and this song sums up the general Republican mentality
Makes you proud to be British 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧a song that will never get old Lest we forget…respect to all men and women serving this country..

At least someone out there understands the meaning of loyalty
Unfortunately the British government covertly supported the loyalist paramilitary campaigns, and had their own secret death squad - MRF, FRU
No surrender. FGAU

it is not an argument its my comment
R.I.P BRITISH HEROES!!
No need for r.i.p that's a romantic Catholic saying our God is the one who let's people rest in peace in Heaven
John mcclure ok but or god don’t let us all Rest In Peace lo nothing wrong with Rest In Peace

Very sad! All conflicts are always full of sorrow .
Bit late to all this but here are the lyrics
In the station in the city a British soldier stood
Talking to the people there if the people would
Some just stared in hatred and others turned in pain
And the lonely British soldier wished he was back home again
"Come join the British army" Said the posters in his town
"See the world and have your fun, come serve before the crown"
The jobs were hard to come by and he could not face the dole
So he took his country's shilling and enlisted on the roll
But there was no fear of fighting, the Empire long was lost
Just ten years in the army, getting paid for being bossed
Then leave a man experienced, a man who's made the grade
A medal and a pension, some memories and a trade
Then came the call to Ireland as the call had come before
Another bloody chapter in an endless civil war
The priests they stood on both sides, the priests they stood behind
Another fight in Jesus' name, the blind against the blind
The soldier stood between them, between the whistling stones
And then the broken bottles that led to broken bones
The petrol bombs that burned his hands, the nails that pierced his skin
And wished that he had stayed at home surrounded by his kin
The station filled with people, the soldier soon was bored
But better in the station than where the people warred
The room filled up with mothers, with daughters and with sons
Who stared with itchy fingers at the soldier and his guns
A yell of fear, a screech of brakes, a shattering of glass
The window of the station broke to let the package pass
A scream came from the mothers as they ran towards the door
Dragging children crying from the bomb upon the floor
The soldier stood and could not move, his gun he could not use
He knew the bomb had seconds and not minutes on the fuse
He could not run to pick it up and throw it in the street
There were far too many people there, too many running feet
"Take cover!" Yelled the soldier, "Take cover for your lives!"
And the Irishmen threw down their young and stood before their wives
They turned towards the soldier, their eyes alive with fear
"For God's sake, save our children, or they'll end their short lives here"
The soldier moved towards the bomb, his stomach like a stone
Why was this his battle, God, why was he alone?
He laid down on the package and he murmured one farewell
To those at home in England, to those he loved so well
He saw the sights of summer, felt the wind upon his brow
The young girls in the city parks, how precious were they now?
The soaring of the swallow, the beauty of the swan
The music of the turning earth so soon would it be gone
A muffled soft explosion and the room began to quake
The soldier blown across the floor, his blood a crimson lake
They never heard him cry or shout, they never heard him moan
And they turned their children's faces from the blood and from the bone
The crowd outside soon gathered and the ambulances came
To carry off the body of a pawn lost to the game
And the crowd they clapped and jeered, and they sang their rebel songs
"One soldier less to interfere where he did not belong"
And will the children growing up learn at their mother's knee
The story of the soldier who bought their liberty?
Who used his youthful body as the means towards the end
Who gave his life to those who called him murderer not friend
Some folk would do well to remember the freedoms our heroes fought and died for in this country before trying to deface our cenotaphs. Lest we Forget. QS.

And the irony of this is that he gave his life to stop them from being killed by the IRA. What an incredibly brave man Sgt Michael Willetts was

Then your cousin is telling lie's. The only part is true is there was a woman there and the rest were soldier's and the RUC.
