About

“She’s Got Medals” was a gender-bending tale with gay and lesbian connotations that predated the ‘dress cover’ of The Man Who Sold the World and the bisexual/androgynous character of Ziggy Stardust.

She’s Got Medals Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She'd walk through the door and she'd set up the drinks on the house
She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped her back
And never took her out
She wore a trenchcoat khaki
Her hobnail boots were full of holes

[Chorus]
She's got medals

[Verse 2]
Her mother called her Mary, but she changed her name to Tommy, she's a one, oh
She went and joined the army, passed the medical
Don't ask me how it's done
They sent her to the front line
Fighting for her country's name

[Chorus]
She's got medals

[Verse 3]
She got very tired of picking up girls
Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls
Then the enemy dropped a bomb
Survivors there were none

[Verse 4]
People say that when the moon is full and all the stars have gone to bed
You can see her ghost, but that's a lie because the naughty woman isn't dead
She deserted on the previous morning
Replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green
Called herself Eileen
Came to London town
Now she's settled down

[Chorus]
She's got medals
