Lyrics

Lamp Lady The image a woman Helpful, attending And handling with care Imagine a battlefield With sparse lives at lives lost A red cross to bear [Chorus] The lady with the lamp is what The lady with the lamp is what they called her The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell The medicines, the lady The cupboard, the lamp The lock not the key, a light in the hand The prescriptions, the wounded The look through the glass Demand not supply, a pain in the ass [Chorus] The lady with the lamp is what The lady with the lamp is what they called her The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell The soldiers in the sickbay The cupboard for medicines Its smashed front window In demand for supply The stories from hearsay The covers of the magazines But the wounded they knew The paper lied [Chorus] The lady with the lamp is what The lady with the lamp is what they called her The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell The lady without glamour is The lady with the hammer is what she was The lady with the hammer is what she was
