А я напишу по-русски! Один из наших маршалов, а именно Родион Малиновский, воевал за Францию в составе экспедиционного корпуса (был тогда и такой в качестве усиления). Потом его именем названа Бронетанковая академия.... Guys... I can speak Englihs. but you carring me. OUR granddads fought together. What do you thinking?
A blackened death metal band took these lyrics, altered them slightly, and added some extras to make a really sombre, melancholic take on this, for anyone who happens across this comment (and is interested). 1914 - The Hundred Days Offensive All their songs are about WWI, and they also use a lot of old movie samples on their albums as well to fit the theme.
Boys songs: this^ Girls songs: Cooked last night And cooked the night before Gonna be cooked tonight If we're never cooked no more When you're cooked, You're hot as you can be 'cause the Kaiser wants to microwave The British infantry They're boiling us, They're boiling us One lead sheet between the four of us Thank your lucky stars that you taste so good 'cause you wouldn't want your corpse to go to waste!
