So Long Soldier

Album: Don't Panic (2012)

  • Back in '95
    A little boy from just outside of London
    Took a fated trip across the ocean

    And little did he know
    That he would find his voice in verse and chorus
    Making wishes on his broken stereo

    Can't shake the noise from his bones
    Hear it all play out in distant echoes

    So long, soldier
    Cruise controller
    Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
    And come down to voice a generation

    Late 2005
    The boy's got plans as crazy as his friends
    They take their chances driving West alone
    Give 'em six more years, and see what time will do for hopeless dreamers
    Singing wishes to their broken stereo

    You can't shake the noise from their bones
    Hear it all play out in distant echoes

    So long, soldier
    Cruise controller
    Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
    And come down to voice a generation

    So long, soldier
    Cruise controller
    Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
    And come down to voice a generation Writer/s: ALEXANDER WILLIAM GASKARTH, JACK BASSAM BARAKAT, MICHAEL JOSEPH GREEN, ROBERT RYAN DAWSON, ZACHARY STEVEN MERRICK
