Stop The Cavalry
Christmas Hits Lyrics

Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
In times of war, high-ranking officials visit the troops to raise morale.

To say we're doing splendidly
They offer words of praise that don't mean much to the soldiers facing the harsh realities of war.

But it's very cold out here in the snow
The weather adds to the already difficult situation of fighting in a war.

Marching to and from from the enemy
Soldiers must constantly move and engage with the enemy, with no guarantee of safety.

Oh, I say it's tough, I have had enough
The artist is tired of fighting and wants the war to end.

Can you stop the cavalry?
The singer asks for someone to put an end to the war and prevent the suffering caused by it.

I have had to fight almost every night
The singer has been engaged in combat almost every night they've been at war.

Down throughout the centuries
War has been a constant throughout history.

This is when I say, oh yes, yet again
The artist is resigned to the fact that war continues without end, despite the suffering it causes.

Can you stop the cavalry?
Again, the artist asks for someone to intervene and end the war.

Mary Bradley waits at home
The singer has someone they care for who is waiting for them to return from the war.

In the nuclear fall-out zone
The dangers of war extend beyond just conventional weapons to include nuclear weapons.

Wish I could be dancing now
The singer longs for a sense of normalcy and joy that war has taken away from them.

In the arms of the girl I love
The singer desires physical comfort and emotional connection with their loved one.

Bang goes another bomb on another town
The violence and destruction of war continues, with innocent civilians suffering the most.

While Luzar and Jim have tea
While the soldiers are at war, people back home are able to continue their normal lives.

If I get home, live to tell the tale
Surviving the war and returning home is not a guaranteed outcome.

I'll run for all the presidencies
The singer expresses a desire to be in a position of power to make real change and end war.

If I get elected, I'll stop, I will stop the cavalry
The singer believes that if they have political power, they can bring an end to war and the destruction it causes.

Wish I could be dancing now
Once again, the artist longs for a sense of normalcy and joy that war has taken away from them.

Mary proudly waits at home
The artist's loved one continues to wait for their return.

She's been waiting two years long
The war has gone on for a long time, and those at home have also been impacted by its effects.

Wish I was at home for Christmas
The singer desires to be with loved ones during the holiday season and wishes for an end to the war that keeps them apart.
