Great song, 100% comes 2nd in my book, Fairytale of NewYork Comes first purely because it Reminds me of the Christmas of 2022 (Turning into 2023 so last year) Because of a woman who became a memory Merry Christmas to you my friend ❤
Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here To say we're doing splendidly But it's very cold out here in the snow Marching to and from the enemy Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough Can you stop the cavalry? I have had to fight, almost every night Down throughout these centuries That is when I say, oh yes yet again Can you stop the cavalry? Mary Bradley waits at home In the nuclear fall-out zone Wish I could be dancing now In the arms of the girl I love Wish I was at home for Christmas Bang! That's another bomb on another town While the Tsar and Jim have tea If I get home, live to tell the tale I'll run for all presidencies If I get elected I'll stop, I will stop the cavalry Wish I was at home for Christmas Wish I could be dancing now In the arms of the girl I love Mary Bradley waits at home She's has been waiting two years long Wish I was at home for Christmas
This for me is the song that kicks off the Christmas holidays in my house. This is always playing when I'm doing dinner, wrapping presents or putting up decorations.
Heard this song last as child many many years ago on the radio and loved it. Then they stopped playing it and I never heard it again till now. Still love it at 56

Here in the Netherlands this song is played alot of times on the radio around christmas but i noticed that in other countries this is not the case and that's quite sadd, it's a great song! btw this video is way better than the one Stiff records uploaded on here, they used some weird kind of youtube stabilizing program.
This is my most favourite Christmas song❤ every time I hear it it makes me so happy, I know it’s quite a depressing situation song but his voice warms my ❤️
@@markthomas328 Exactly. The Ukrainians would probably love to be at home, warm and concerned only with getting everything ready for Orthodox Christmas, not literally fighting to defend their homes and families from Russian aggressors. Come to think of it, most of those Russians would probably also love to be home right now, themselves. Someone should send this song to Putin, ask him to really consider its lyrics and the message it reflects.
Who is here three months before Christmas day ? ❤ I love this i have heard it every Christmas since i was very little I'd say it came out in 82 or 83 but font quote me on it. If i haven't heard it by a certain point in December i purposely sing it at karaoke
Was never meant to be a Christmas song, just an anti war song. The decision to postpone releasing it at Christmas might be obvious, but it was anything but. All worked out very well in the end for ol' Jona
Ich bin Deutscher . Dieses Lied berührt mich zutiefst. Deutsche,Franzosen ,Engländer, Russen usw. sind im ersten Weltkrieg gestorben. Wofür und für welche Ziele ?
Just the song been looking for Jona Lewie Stop The Cavalry,One of my best Christmas songs,Also gets played every Christmas time,Know all the words to this song as well
It's not any particular war. The imagery of the video is WW1 but he mentions Churchill, nuclear fallout, and fighting for centuries. It's every soldier, and every war.
Jon Lewie - Stop 🛑 ✋ The Cavalry is made on Saturday 29th of November 1980 is almost 😅 43 previous years ago this month. I was aged 4 years old at the time 🕰️ .
