Tonic For The Troops (Thin Paul's Sister, Sue Veneer from London)

Key to authors' pseudonyms

The battle is raging
way out of hand
smoke filled bedrooms
full of blood and sand
we're walking backwards
up a spiral stair
never reaching the top
It's going nowhere

liked a diseased disciple
selling dreams with a rifle
a tonic for the troops
to wash away the truth

Khaki King Canute
turning the tide
climbing up the ladder
slipping down the slide
we're banging our heads
on a weeping wall
with all the battle's pain
what the hell is it for
