mutiny - levellers lyrics

[verse 1]
for us to carry on
to fight and die as we have done
with the whips and prayers to face the machine guns
we’re a mutiny so they say
we’ve gone against the king today
as i write to you my love, i’ll be gone out of all that’s dear to me
for two years now we’ve fought and died for home with bravery
now the bulls have pulled me down, there’s no way out for me
as i leave this d-mn disgrace, keep a good name for me

[chorus]
love can’t you see this
i’m not as i was before
love please believe this
i’m jesse robert short

[verse 2]
i stared the captain in the eyes
and they told me that he’d never seen the front line
that b-gg-r ought to have a rope around his neck
and thrown into the river
did i say these words that have cast me down
well i really can’t remember
with my back hard tied to the post
oh that black september
as i leave this d-mn disgrace remember me forever

[chorus]
love can’t you see this
i’m not as i was before
love please believe this
i’m jesse robert short

[bridge}
donna i just want peace
for you and all good souls
i’d like to say that i died for you but
war has no common goal

[chorus]
love can’t you see this
i’m not as i was before
love please believe this
i’m jesse robert short
love can’t you see this
i’m not as i was before
love please believe this
i’m jesse robert short
