Here's XTC with Generals and Majors. Perhaps the most English of British rock bands of the 20th century. Very fitting on the 40th anniversary of the Sgt. Pepper album, which has rocketed back to # 6 on the US Amazon sales chart.
Generals and majors ah ah
Theyre never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
Theyll never come down
Till once again victoriousGenerals and majors always
Seem so unhappy less they got a warGenerals and majors ah ah
Like never before are tired of being actionless.Calling generals and majors
Generals and majors everywhere
Calling generals and majors
Your world war 3 is drawing nearGenerals and majors ah ah
Theyre never too far
Away from men who made the grade
Out in a world of their own
Theyll never come down
Until the battles lost or madeGenerals and majors ah ah
Like never before, are tired of being in the shade
