Man at War - More Songs of Pain (1983), Early Recordings Volume I (2003)
Jumpin Joe [?] the
battlefield is clear
strange soldiers that play, he's a man at war
He was of no army he was
fighting all alone
and for no reason he was a man at war
He was standing in his
foxhole he was always on the defensive
when out of the smoke appeared an attractive figure
I had popped out of that
torso and much to his surprise
he fell in love with it's eye
She was fifteen in a
magazine what an odd place for her to be
standing on that battlefield by the man at war
"Does she love me" he
screamed with bombs bursting in the air
does she love me, will she understand me, I'm a man at
war
He was ambushed and shot up
his legs and arms and head
had to be amputated, he was rehabilitated, he was a man
at war
And suddenly and
surprisingly their roles had been reversed
he was blessed and he was cursed, he was a man at war
