I'm trying to figure out the lyrics for 'For My Country', this is what I have so far:
for my country
a craze in their eyes
death is their glory
oh the honor's so great
* * * * *
to relive the story
* * tales of hate
smashing and crashing * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *
for the honor * * * *
his majesty's pleasure's my honor to die
for my country
for my country
* * * * *
their death is my glory
oh, for the regal return
swim in the blood of the * * * *
to see the hot fires burn
smashing and crashing * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *
for the honor * * * *
his majesty's pleasure's my honor to die
for my country
for my country
this is the emergency broadcasting service
once again our nation stands threatned
once again we must call upon our youth
-
they're smashing and crashing * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *
my sword will never sleep in my hands
* * * * * in this green and pleasant land
for the honor, * * * *
it's my pleasure my honor to die
for my country
--
Any help? |

What I have is:
A blaze in their eyes
Death is their glory
Oh the honour so great
Doo doo doo doo
To relive the story
Spitting tales of hate
Smashing and crashing doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
For the honour, I don;t ask why
His majesty's pleasure my honour to die
For my country x 2
A blaze in the fields
Their death is my glory
etc
That's about as far as I went on it |

For My Country Lyrics
Thanks 'justaguest' and 'MH' for deciphering the 'FMC' lyrics
or at least getting close. At least on the 7" single version!
As you may be aware there are actually 3 different versions
of 'FMC'
The 7" vinyl single
The John Peel session
The 'Post Punk' version
What we discovered looking and listening carefully was the
suprising (or not so!) fact that the lyric content actually differs
slightly on each version!
We have not tested this on the single version as the record deck
aint plugged in! but here are the 'John Peel session' and 'Post Punk'
version's
Peel version wrote: | For my Country Peel Session
It’s for the honor
I don’t ask why
Her majesty’s pleasure
Is my honor to die
For – my - country
A blaze in their eyes
death is their glory
oh for a humbling fight
the urge is so great
to relive the stories
spitting tales of hate
we're smashing and bashing
.the skies, the terrain
count up the memories
we go back again
for the honor I don;t ask why
her majesty's pleasure's my honor to die
for- my- country
for- my- country
The dam has broken
You will drown in the flood
Oh feel your adrenalin rise
A crash in your ears
Feeling the blood
Shoot shooting from your eyes
We’re smashing and bashing
.the skies, the terrain
count up the memories
we go back again
for the honor I don;t ask why
her majesty's pleasure's my honor to die
for -my -country
for -my -country
In an emergency broadcasting voice
"once again our nation is called to defend its honor and liberty
once again England expects every man to do his duty
for queen and for country"
We’re smashing and bashing
.the skies, the terrain??
count up the memories
we go back again
my sword will never sleep in my hands
until we build Jerusalem in this green and pleasant land
for the honor I don;t ask why
his majesty's pleasure's my honor to die
for my country
for my country

And the 'Post Punk' version...

the safe or esteem?
to relive the stories

Smashing and crashing
.escape, the terrain
count up the memories
we go back again
for the honour I don’t ask why
her majesty's pleasure's my honour to die
for- my- country
for- my- country
A blaze in the fields
their death is my glory
oh, for the regal return
To swim in the blood
To see the blood of champagne
To see the home fires burn
We’re smashing and crashing
.escape, the terrain
count up the memories
we go back again
for the honour I don’t ask why
her majesty's pleasure's my honour to die
for -my -country
for -my -country
garbled voices "under attack", "detonate" and explosions etc
We’re smashing and bashing
.the skies, the terrain
count up the memories
we go back again
my sword will never sleep in my hands
until we build Jerusalem in this green and pleasant land
for the honour I don’t ask why
his majesty's pleasure's my honour to die
for my country
for my country

We suspect that some of the live versions are different still!
Hope that helps!
