Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bugle Calls
I believe that among UK band members the theme to, The Bridge on the River Kwai is unanimously known as, Ballocks and the Same to You. Taps, the US last bugle call of the day has several diferent sets of lyrics set to it, "Day is done, Gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh." being one of the most common.

Some British Bugle Calls are available here, while most of the US Army Bugle Calls can be found here. Not to be outdone, the US Air Force Ceremonial Music and Bugle Calls has a number of marches and the AF Band's version of the standard US Bugle Calls.
