Lyrics for Queen And Country by Tull Jethro:
| | | Artist: | Tull Jethro |
| | Album: | Warchild | | Track: | Queen And Country | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | The wind is on the river and the tide has turned too late,
So we're sailing for another shore
where some other ladies wait
To throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains
-
But we all laugh so politely and we sail on just the same
For Queen and Country in the
long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years since we signed our souls
away.
We bring back gold and ivory; rings of diamonds; strings of pearls -
Make presents
to the government so they can have their social whirl
With Queen and Country in the long dying
day.
And it's been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away.
For
Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years since we
signed our souls away.
They build schools and they build factories
With the spoils of
battles won.
And we remain their pretty sailor boys - hold our heads up to the gun
Of
Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years since we
signed our souls away.
To Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way
for five long years since we signed our souls away.
To Queen and Country in the long dying
day.
And it's been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
