Story behind the song
It was just thoughts on how a lot of big stars die young and a mark of tribute to some of them.
Lyrics
I was thinking about Kurt Cobain And his chances were pretty slim, And I was thinking of John Lennon 'Cos I owe a lot to him; Just soldiers with guns of wood and string Shot down with lack of understanding. I was thinking of Jimi Hendrix And other stars passed on, Who gave their music Immortalised in song. I was wondering about our future In a world turned upside down, Where love's a word corrupted To the sound of a weeping clown And gunfire's from the soldiers With guns of wood and string.
