The colonel said "these bodies stink wont someone come and drag them away"

we try to clean them up but they mow us down

and the English colonel looks the other way

oh the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

well I ran for the trench but I had no time to speak

well my heart said yes

but my head said no

when the English colonel said "its time to go"



He said "Whats a few men?"

He said "Whats a few men?"

He said "Whats a few men?"



The colonel's job is never done

So he declares timeout on Christmas Day

We held the enemy in our arms

and we ploughed each others dead into the clay

well the Lord said death will be no longer

and all of these things will pass away

there will be no sorrow and there will be no pain

and we'll swap cigrettes on christmas day



well my heart said yes

but my head said no

when the english colonel said "its time to go"



He said "Whats a few men?"

He said "Whats a few men?"

He said "Whats a few men?"
