A tribute to our heroes, some still with us, many sadly passed, but never forgotten
Lyrics written by our Chairman, Chris Mitchell, music by local musician, George Hall and sung by Ian Donaghy, lead singer of the famous party band, Huge:
Their Finest Hour
Lyrics:
They know so much
They’ve seen it all
A world gone by
When they walked tall
When life was simple
But war was rife
Yet they stood up
And risked their life
But why neglect them
Because they’re old
They should be warm
Instead they’re cold
So let’s rejoice
Let’s sing it out loud
We owe them everything
‘cos they did us all proud
Yes they’re old but they’re heroes
They’re bold but they’re zeros
No use to the Neros in power
So let’s not neglect them
And not disrespect them
Remembering their finest hour
Remember…..their finest hour
They saved us all
And kept us free
Now only memories
For company
They should be loved
They should be cherished
They gave us freedom
While their friends perished
So why neglect them
Because they’re old
They should be warm
Instead they’re cold
So let’s rejoice
Let’s sing it out loud
We owe them everything
‘cos they did us all proud
Yes they’re old but they’re heroes
They’re bold but they’re zeros
No news to the Neros in power
So let’s not neglect them
And not disrespect them
Remembering their finest hour
Remember…..their finest hour
So here’s our mission
Our one true goal
To give them dignity
And save their soul
Save their soul……………
Yeah they’re old but they’re heroes
They’re bold but they’re zeros
No use to the Neros in power
Se we’re gonna save them
We’ll love and embrace them
And prove why the poppy’s our flower
Repeat last chorus
And give them
Their finest hour
