Who will lead my troops today?
I would lead those boys astray
So, whole worlds lie down for them
She will teach them to be men
Softly
CHORUS:
It’s the way that she wears her armour
It’s the way that she talks to them
It’s the way that she wears her armour
Was she born in armour?
Who will take these kids from me?
Show them what they ought to see?
Should they set their limbs to rest,
She will show them who knows best
Softly
CHORUS
Who will lead my troops today?
I would lead those boys astray
Who will say ‘goodnight’ to them?
Cause them to forget girlfriends?
They are young and they are hopeless
There is nothing I can do
To make their English improve
CHORUS
The song of her unremitting eye
While her predecessors cry:
“Was she born in armour?
Was she born in armour?
She was born in armour!
She was born in armour!”
One extended piece or a 10 song cycle. Great discipline and vision; fantastic arrangements and playing; another idea every 10 seconds; clever, heartfelt and poetic lyrics. You're entering Groomworld. Land Lovers
A pop hit! And for several good reasons. Every track is a tasty piece of work. The songs soar. Hook after hook, groove after groove, this is a party record for weirdos and you! Land Lovers
This album is identity politics before such thing existed, and hits so hard that it hurts. Saw these lads play the Sugar Club as a support act in 2016 and they took the fucking roof off. This album still hits, even if some of the references have dated (Kony) they are still fun (Biggie, Fela Kuti, Chuck D, get shout outs). Such joy to hear Denise Chaila anywhere too! Album Club
