Anti-war Song of the Week

25 years ago, on learning that the average age of US soldiers in the Vietnam war was 19 -- compared to 26 in World War II -- Paul Hardcastle produced his record 19, which became a worldwide hit. Paul has re-written the words for a new version to be released on 19 April. "The similarities between Vietnam and Afghanistan are quite alarming," he says. "This time it's about British soldiers." www.paulhardcastle.com

19: The Vision
by Paul Hardcastle


Lyrics

A voice in my head is saying welcome to hell,
Will I get to survive I‘ve got no way to tell,
I’m in a situation where one of us dies
I get a stone cold stare from my enemies eyes,

A voice in my head is saying kill or be killed
But my mind is numb and my blood is chilled,
There’s bodies all around they lie on the ground
And all I hear is silence, and it’s a deafening sound

A voice in my head is saying this ain’t a game
If I survive this Hell I will never be the same,
Should I be here? I can’t say for sure,
If I don’t understand what I’m fighting for
