I have to admit, I am so completely horrified and appalled by the events of this year so far, I found it very difficult to search for songs referencing the words in today’s Song Lyric Sunday theme. I found a song that mentioned “soldier”, apparently a play on famous nursery rhymes, although I am always a little suspicious of other meanings when it comes to certain groups.
Let’s hope it is just a song piecing together popular nursery rhymes. We need some innocence during these turbulent times. This is “Dandelion” from The Rolling Stones.

Prince or pauper, beggar man or thing Play the game with ev'ry flow'r you bring Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise Tell me if she laughs or cries Blow away dandelion One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock chimes Dandelions don't care about the time Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise Tell me if she laughs or cries Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion Tho' you're older now its just the same You can play this dandelion game When you're finished with your childlike prayers Well, you know you should wear it Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailors lives Rich man, poor man, beautiful, daughters wives Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise Tell me if she laughs or cries Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion Little girls, and boys come out to play Bring your dandelions to blow away Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise Tell me if she laughs or cries Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion
