lyrics

Oh boy,
When you're marching you're not fighting and you know that you don't mind it,
It's better than living life in a trench, getting your feet and boots drenched,
Leave this place, you're on the run now, always hoping you won't be found out,

Only sand and sunshine, that's what's in this head of mine,
Only sand and sunshine, that's what's in this head of mine,

Oh boy,
Hide like a rat beneath the floorboards, play the games of the great lords,
Trapped in the biggest cat and mouse game if only someone came to put out the flame,

Only sand and sunshine, that's what's in this head of mine,
Only sand and sunshine, that's what's in this head of mine,

Well she sells knives, she's a dangerous one, better watch what you say, or she'll cut out your tongue,
Well she sells knives, she's a dangerous one, better watch what you say, or she'll cut out your tongue,
