Biography:
Harvey Andrews (born Harvey John Andrews, May 7, 1943 in Birmingham) is an English singer, songwriter, and poet.
From 1964, Andrews supported his nascent career as a singer/songwriter by working as a schoolteacher, before becoming a full-time professional musician in 1966.
Andrews has produced 15 successful albums singing his own songs, many of which have also been recorded by other artists.
His emotive The Soldier transmits the same quiet desperation of a soldier about to die "in conflict" as Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est

VERSE 1
********
I could've worked a whole lot harder
Could've listened to my father
D
Could've forged ahead, rather than just drifted through
Could've been a top man somewhere
Could've done that, lived that dream there
G
Could've been so keen there'd be so much to do
---------------------
VERSE 2
********
I made mistakes that lead me nowhere
Mistakes that made me go where
C
I found a locked door labelled déjà vu
And though I see so clearly
G
Every locked door cost me dearly
D G
As I look back, I see that's how I grew
D G
And the one mistake I didn't make was you
---------------------
VERSE 3
********
I wouldn't network with the winners
Wouldn't get beyond beginners
D
Always thought the sinners better than the saints could be
I wouldn't join the corporation
Wouldn't rise up to their station
G
Always felt that levitation was too much for me
---------------------
VERSE 4
********
I couldn't solve the big conundrum
So, I settled for the humdrum
C
Decided that I didn't have a clue
And though I see so clearly
G
They all thought it cost me dearly
D G
As I look back, I see that's how I grew
D G
And the one mistake I didn't make was you
---------------------
BRIDGE
*******
C G
I didn't make that big mistake
A7
Though I made a lot of small ones
D
Made a lot of trip and fall ones
C G
Now we're free, that's history
A7
So let's take our time don't hurry
D
There's no need for all that worry
---------------------
VERSE 5
********
G
'Cause I'll never be a grafter
It's not money that I'm after
D
I just need to hear your laughter in the afternoon
I'm not chasing any dream now
Haven't got the perfect scheme now
G
Let it all be as it seems, just one long honeymoon
---------------------
VERSE 6
********
Oh, they can drive their big Mercedes
On their journey down to Hades
C
They can have the whole damn world till payment’s due
Because now I see so clearly
G
It'll cost them all so dearly
D G
For there's only so much time as we pass through
D G
And the one mistake I didn't make was you
Because now I see so clearly
G
It'll cost them all so dearly
D G
For there's only so much time as we pass through
D G
And the one mistake I didn't make was you
ENJOY..............
