the price of eternal vigilance

I've put up a couple of pictures of the Ra5c Vigilante, over the last monthe or so. I was looking through some of the other pictures I've scanned yesterday, trying to decide which to put up next. I think I'll go with two that I believe my supervisor Mark Ramsey took. Maybe I'll do that sometime during the week,though, because another thought gained on me at that point. For this vigilante post I'll put up the lyrics to New Order's "Love Vigilantes." It seemed resaonable, and it seemed right. I never argue with myself at such times. This is a song that dates back to their 1985 Low Life Lp.

LOVE VIGILANTES Lyric by NEW ORDER
Oh I've just come from the land of the sun
From a war that must be won in the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God

chorus:
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

You just can't believe The joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky my convictions could not lie
For my country I would die And I will see it soon
(chorus)

When I walked through the door My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man But that I was dead.

I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of a short story I read back in middle or high school, unfortunately any further details are lost to time. So I never get past that point. One thing I did turn up this time is that New Order have a new disc coming out next month called "Waiting for the Sirens Call". That was something I would not have predicted. They seem to have recorded an actual rock and roll song for this record too; number 11 Working overtime. They have streaming versions of the whole album up on New Order online, if you feel like listening.
