The cherry is the fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus, and is a fleshy stone fruit. The cherry fruits of commerce are usually obtained from a limited number of species, including especially cultivars of the wild cherry, Prunus avium.
The name 'cherry', often as the compound term 'cherry tree', may also be applied to many other members of the genus Prunus, or to all members of the genus as a collective term. The fruits of many of these are not cherries, and have other common names, including plum, apricot, peach, and others. The name 'cherry' is also frequently used in reference to cherry blossom.
Many cherry fruits are members of the subgenus Cerasus, which is distinguished by having the flowers in small corymbs of several together (not singly, nor in racemes), and by having a smooth fruit with only a weak groove or none along one side. The subgenus is native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with two species in America, three in Europe, and the remainder in Asia.
Other cherry fruits are members of subgenus Padus.

Plot
During the Vietnam war, a girl is taken from her village by five American soldiers. Four of the soldiers rape her, but the fifth refuses. The young girl is killed. The fifth soldier is determined that justice will be done. The film is more about the realities of war, rather than this single event.

Even in war... murder is murder.
Meserve: Brownie, look into my fuckin' eyes I'm gonna hypnotize you. YOU'RE FINE!::Cpl. Brown: I knew it man, I knew it!
[last lines]::Girl on Bus: You had a bad dream, didn't you?::Eriksson: Yes.::Girl on Bus: It's over now, I think. Chao ong.
Meserve: This is a weapon, this is a gun. This is for fighting, this is for fun.
Eriksson: Pardon me sir, what's your point, sir?::Hill: There ain't no point, Eriksson. I'm simply trying to illuminate the terrain in which we currently find ourselves deployed. You don't mind that, do you? And if you do, FUCK YOU! You on my frequency?::Eriksson: Yes SIR!
Eriksson: You sick son of a bitch!::Clark: I told you, cherry. What happen... [Clark is hit in the face by Eriksson with a shovel]::Eriksson: Nobody cares, Meserve. I told everybody. I told them. You don't have to worry. You don't have to try to kill me, man. I told them, and THEY DON'T CARE!
Capt. Hill: You couldn't let it rest, could you? You had to push it?::Eriksson: Go to hell. SIR.
Eriksson: Who got hit Sarge?::Hawthorne: The cherry. Man, that boy was bagged and tagged the minute they cut his orders to this place. They should've just shot him at home.
Eriksson: Everybody's acting like we can do anything and it don't matter what we do. Maybe we gotta' be extra careful because maybe it matters more than we even know.
Meserve: You probably like the army, don't you, Eriksson?::Eriksson: This ain't the army. This ain't the army, Sarge.
Prosecutor: So you don't feel responsible for the rape and murder?::Clark: No, sir. I don't.::Prosecutor: Is it your feeling, Corporal Clark that you are wrongly brought to trial by the U.S. Government?::Clark: I don't have anything against the government. But I just think soldiers like Tony Meserve and me... belong out in combat... not here. Throw us in the stockade and you're helping nobody but the Viet Cong.::[Cct to Private Hatcher]::Prosecutor: When Sergeant Meserve called you, did you go willingly into the hootch and rape the girl Tran Thi Oahn? Please answer the question.::PFC. Herbert Hatcher: Y-yes sir.::Prosecutor: Have you any idea why Eriksson stayed out of the hootch?::PFC. Herbert Hatcher: Well, he was brand-new, sir. I was there a lot longer than him. At least three weeks longer than him.::[cut to Private Diaz]::Prosecutor: You're saying, then you involved yourself in rape to avoid being ridiculed?::PFC. Antonio Diaz: When you go out on a patrol, sir you're not gonna be as good as you wanna be. These guys aren't helping you do anything. There's gonna be four people on that patrol, and an individual. And so I did what I did, and I got remorse about it. But I also got remorse about talking at this trial. I have a loyalty to the men I was out there with.::[cut to Sergeant Meserve]::Prosecutor: Is it standard for U.S. personnel to have sex with prisoners and kill them?::Meserve: The prisoner tried to give away the squad's position.::Prosecutor: She was ill and coughing from the abuse of you and your men. She shouldn't have been there to jeopardize your position! You dragged her out and raped her! And then you blame her for coughing, so you kill her! Does that about sum it up?::Meserve: Well, sir... I've seen a lot of killing... which it's our duty to do, because it's kill or be killed. Sometimes you hate the enemy so badly... About two ops back... Operation Turner... we saw a hootch that had been burned down. Some Vietnamese were carrying kids out of a bunker. They suffered from smoke inhalation. I gave one small child mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. That just shows you we ain't all combat over here.
Fred: I'm dead. You go party.
Screaming Girl: The cocaine really made me horny.

They Buried The Wrong Man. He Won't Make The Same Mistake.
From The Pen Of The Greatest Western Writer In America Today -- Louis L'Amour
Noon: Are you coming?::Rimes: Yeah, I figure you might need me...if only to put a marker on your grave.
Stay with me, I'll set you free
'Cause I can tell you once were pretty
Rose so sad you've lost your petals
Lost the luster off your tattle tales
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I cannot betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Time has lost its hold on me
Hatred sleeps inside my bones
In the stillness of cool air
All the boys have been left for dead
'Cause we go where they fear to tread
The beautiful one's the one's we'll remember
The precious one's our greatest pretenders
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I cannot betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
And if you lose yourself
Could you take me, too?
Could you rest inside the sleep?
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
so the sun burns red
like the cherry of
the cigarette you hold
and as the skylight dims
we look at each other
man were getting old
where's my name dressed in lights
where's the future i had planned
whys the self that i've been dreaming of
a different kind of man
now everything i've done without you
has taken me to all dead ends
so guidance make me
one of the few that you call friend
make me your friend
so the sun burns red
but its glory is
beyond my field of sight
and the doubts of past years
haunt me now
maybe they were right
i could use you now
my legs are tired
and this race is way too long
for me
now everything i've done without you
has taken me to all dead ends
so guidance make me
one of the few that you call friend
make me your friend
and so i'm searching
to find you inside myself
what do you look like
your way to far away to tell
and these stepping stones go on and on
i wonder where they end
so many times i thought the answers were
just around the bend
but i passed them by
imagine what i left behind me
cause you left behind me
who is laughing now if only it was me
your tripping wire was far to tight
my ankles cut its clear to me now
that its all up hill from here
on a cobble road with nothing but sharp rocks
and no map to guide the way i'm lost
you never told me it would be this way without you
when i knew you you were ugly
but not like i'm ugly now
so make me pay make me suffer now
like i’ve never done before
but i wont leave i wont stop
Cherry, I'd like to love you
Cherry, will you love me too
Someday I will take you away, that's all I want to do
I'll love you forever, Cherry
Will you love me too
Sweet as a morning sunrise
Fresh as a mountain dew
Someday I will love you
Cherry, will you love me too
I need you forever, Cherry
Will you need me too
I'll love you forever Cherry, will you love me too
who am i to define this thing?
if we get our hearts together
take a chance on hell or heaven
in time we'll see
you decide who you would like to be
if we brave this stormy weather
take a chance or maybe never
live inside a dream
if you feel a bump in the road
if you need some time
take it slow
hold on
boy pick it up now
don't let a good thing stop
take my hand
this really could get rough now
but i'm the cherry on top
baby what's the chances if you hide
from me?
if you let your soul be better
we can face this world together
alive and free
if you're feeling lost and alone
if you need a ride let me know
hold on
boy pick it up now
don't let a good thing stop
take my hand
this really could get rough now
but i'm the cherry on top
hold on
better think it over
remember what you got
take my hand
i really want to know ya
you'll be my cherry on top
i wanna be your cherry on top
Gotta give you love oh cherry
dance for me there's only you
play the barrooms just for pennies
Wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden , We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of thei night I roll alone
On the tabletops she's dancing, sit and smile into your beer
Turn around no cherry for me, let me know you know I'm here
We are golden, We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of the night, making it feel all right
Come on cherry let's make it together
Out of the neon and into my life
We can't play this game forever, now.....
* (instrmental)
Gotta give my love oh Cherry, dance for me there' s only you

A Light At The End For Us Anymore

Can Be Very Sweet When She Needs A Friend

A Mask That She Wears So She Can Pretend

I Hate That It's True But You Make Me Blue
I Kept Waiting
For You To Find What I See In You

No I Can't Keep Quiet
All Of The Time

enjoy!
sweet little cherry got her hands in her pockets
and she's waiting for a downtown train
in her hi-heel boots with the straps hung low
and her head hanging down in shame
the wolves dress up just like sheep
and they go and hit the town
cherry never see's them
but they're hanging all around
you'll see, yea i'm tempted by the cherry tree
you'll see, yea i'm tempted by the cherry tree
sweet little cherry got her switch blade jimmy
to come and take her down to fourth and main
her mind in a haze of better days
before her body was an ad compaign
now the filthy crooks in pocket books
are all that cherry see's
dashboard thug's and backseat haul's
her down onto her knee's
yea i am tempted, i am weak
yes i'm too weak to try to speak
oh, no
yea i am tempted, i'm ashamed
oh i'm ashamed, and i'm to blame
oh, no
you'll see, yea i'm tempted by the cherry tree
you'll see, yea i'm tempted by the cherry..
sweet little cherry took the last bus home
in the middle of the pouring rain
she saw the bad boy's sleeping
and the good girls weeping
through the fog on the window panes
cherry wants to make it right
but she never has a prayer
cause as long as there are bad boys
they'll be penny millionaires
yea i am tempted, i am weak
yea i'm too weak to try to speak
oh, no
yea i am tempted, i'm ashamed
oh i'm ashamed, and i'm to blame
oh, no
you'll see, yea i'm tempted by the cherry tree

Her name is Cherry.
We've just met,
but already she knows me better than you.
She understands me, after 18 years,
but you still don't see me like you ought to do.
Maybe we could talk bout things if
you was made of wood and strings.
While I love her every sound,
I don't know how to turn you down,
and you're so thick and my pages are thin,
So I got me a new best friend
With a pick-up that puts you to shame,
and Cherry is her name.
And when I'm lone-ly
Cherry's there
and she plays along while I sing out my blues
I could be crying,
and you don't care
You won't call me back, you're stubborn as a mule.
May-be we could talk bout things if
you was made of wood and strings.
You might think I've
gone too far
I'm talking bout
Come, up close, see the new girl. She's going to cause
quite a stir.
(A) milky smooth, juicy ripe fruit, she squishy talks
when she walks
Dance, Cherry, Dance. The world is in your hand.
Come too close, see our best girl. She's going to
change your whole world;
Won't want to keep your hands off, Won't want it to ever stop.
C'mon now, show what you've got. Money makes Cherry so hot,
Makes Cherry keep coming back. She's with you-- No
questions asked.
Some girls drink, so they don't think,
But Cherry dreams of evil things-
A poison wish applied to her lips.
"Sweet Cherry lips- Get your kicks with a kiss.
Cherry flavored licks- Just one taste is a trip." Cherry.
Not too close, there are other girls, but Cherry can
bump and can twirl.
She's going to push your head down. She'll let you
taste where you're from.
('Cause) when she's too tired to perform, but she
wants to be kept on,
We've got a place, Cherry knows, girls with seniority go.
Some girls shoot, unless they toot,
But Cherry dreams of lovely things
I don't know why she called
it was very strange the way
tell me about her
Fuck
She told me she was the one
Then everything was done
Then I looked around
What did I see?
She told me she was the one
Then everything was done
Then I looked around and
What did u see?
When I fucked her
Underneath a tree
And I can't believe that I took her virginity
Virginity
Virginity
Then I just woke up
What a strange nightmare
My eyes couldn't focus
I wasn't there
Was it a friend or a foe?
I didn't really know
But as I turned around
What did I see?
That I fucked her
Underneath a tree
And I can't believe that I took her virginity
Virginity
Virginity
Virgin tea
Virgin tea
Virgin tea
Virgin tea
Wont you buy some virgin tea?
Wont you buy some virgin tea?
Wont you buy some virgin tea?
Wont you buy some virgin tea?
that I fucked her
Underneath a tree
And I can't believe that I took her virginity
Virginity
Virginity
Then I just woke up
What a strange nightmare
My eyes couldn't focus
Who was it there?
**Another Title Would be 'Virgin Tea'**
You smile, I desire
Lean on me, follow me
You smile, and it will be
That's the truth, answer
'Cause I am waiting
For the stars to change
It's only the talk of you
I've been patient
For the sun to change
It's only the need of you
[***]
I will be patient
For the sun to go down
'Cause I am waiting
For the stars to change
Cherry, I'd like to love you
Cherry, will you love me too
Someday I will take you away, that's all I want to do
I'll love you forever, Cherry
Will you love me too
Sweet as a morning sunrise
Fresh as a mountain dew
Someday I will love you
Cherry, will you love me too
I need you forever, Cherry
Will you need me too
I'll love you forever Cherry, will you love me too
Cherry, will you love me too
