She slept on an iron bed lived through the war for what?
Butterflies round the fire smiled
Smiled until she's robbed of all she's got
I heard the innocent got shot today
Grandma died on poppy day
I heard the dress downed got turned away
All died, died on poppy day
Fancy dress in a dress down town
Happy halloween
Door breaks open lost and walked in
Killing the happy scene
I heard the innocent got shot today
Grandma died on poppy day
I heard the dress downed got turned away
Old dad died on poppy day
I heard the innocent got shot today
Grandma died on poppy day
I heard the dress downed got turned away
Old dad died on poppy day
On poppy day
