lyrics

I've seen one I've seen them all,
Look there is a another one,
With his head up in the clouds,
Swallowing the terror that swarms our banks,
It swarms our banks,
Where is the banner parade? and the open arms?
Tea on the table like an old war song,
And pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile,
Tipperary is a long way to go,
Fucking heads will roll if you jump the gun,
It's a figure of speech kept in biscuit tins,
Under fake floor boards with the old heave hoe,
What do we do with a drunken sailor?
It's early in the morning,
What do we with these drunken failures?
Shall we spell it out for the sitting ducks?
It’s the old English poets in all of us,
Are we so wrapped in our mole hills you can better your bottom dollar there is a mountain,
Take the blindest bit of notice of you,
They’ll find your cupboards and all your skeletons,
With their fine tooth combs.
