Soldier's Daughter - Tonic

Song: Soldiers Daughter
Artist: Tonic
Album: Lemon Parade
Release: 1996

LYRICS:
It's the way he looks at you
That says to me
This isn't over
From the outside looking in
You see there's nothing sacred here
Nothing sacred
You can bend
But you can't break

For the reasons out of our control
You try to make it roll
Like a dice away
But you say that you're all empowered here
This is obviously not clear enough to me
You can bend
But you can't break

Hey little girl keep dancing
Hey little girl keep dancing alone
'Cause there's not enough time in your day
To keep you here

The soldier's daughter
Did your daddy
Did your daddy hurt you
Did he make you feel bad
Did he poison your views
With the water he was raised on
Oh your father's son says hang on
Hang on

Hey little girl keep dancing
Hey little girl keep dancing alone
'Cause there's not enough time in your life
To stay here

So over the hills he'd climb
Just to see her there in time
Just to watch the sun shine through her dress
The sweet soldier's daughter
The sweet soldier's daughter

Call me a nostalgic sap, but this album will always remind me of a very special girl I once knew. Wherever you are out there, I will never forget you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.  -D

I made out with my first love to this song. It will always remind me of her.

Cheers to that.

When I was in tech school for the air force back in 1997 I used to listen to this CD when I was laying in bed and the lights off every night and think....now that I hear it now all I can do is get chills thinking back to that time in my life.

This is giving me goosebumps. I don't think I've heard this song in a good 13 years.

I met this girl and would call her up at 2am on wed night,drunk and she would come and dance with me in my kitchen to this song.her dad was retired army and he didnt like me to much until I married his daughter.He's dead now and me and my wife still dance to this song every now then.12 years later:D

@TruSp0t My favorite lyric.

[siegnjen]

I have a quote on my kitchen wall that says: “Hey little girl…..keep dancing”. It has deep rooted meaning for me…. for everything I’ve been through and overcome-I can still keep dancing. Cancer at the age of 33, countless surgeries, etc. One of my favorite songs...

"you can bend, but you can't break" !!!

[nirvana454]

I will always identify this song with a great time in my life. Even though the lyrics and the melody are quite melancholy, this song reminds me of good times, better times.
