Some mother's son lies in a field
Someone has killed some mother's son today
Head blown up by some soldier's gun
While all the mothers stand and wait
Some mother's son ain't coming home today
Some mothers son ain't got no grave
Two soldiers fighting in a trench
One soldier glances up to see the sun
And dreams of games he played when he was young
And then his friend calls out his name
It stops his dream and as he turns his head
A second later he is dead
Some mother's son lies in a field
Back home they put his picture in a frame
But all dead soldiers look the same
While all the parents stand and wait
To meet their children coming home from school
Some mother's son is lying dead
Somewhere someone is crying
Someone is trying to be so brave
But still the world keeps turning
Though all the children have gone away
Some mother's son lies in a field
But in his mother's eyes he looks the same
As on the day he went away
They put his picture on the wall
They put flowers in the picture frame
Some mothers memory remains
The Kinks are a British rock band formed in London in 1963 and active until 1996. Considered one of the most influential groups of the British Invasion, they left an indelible mark on rock music with their characteristic sound that blended catchy pop melodies with introspective and often satirical lyrics. The original lineup included Ray Davies (vocals, guitar), Dave Davies (guitar), Mick Avory (drums) and Pete Quaife (bass). Quaife was replaced by John Dalton in 1966 and then permanently in 1969. The Kinks released a vast discography of successful albums, including "Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society" (1969), "Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround" (1970) and "Sleepwalker" (1973). Their most famous songs include "You Really Got Me", "All Day and All of the Night", "Waterloo Sunset", "Lola" and "Days". The Kinks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
