Lyrics

[00:31.11] Jump down the shelters to get away
[00:36.34] The boys are cocking up their guns
[00:40.62] Tell us general, is it party time?
[00:45.31] If it is, can we all come?
[00:49.66] Don't think that we don't know
[00:54.16] Don't think that we're not trying
[00:58.35] Don't think we move too slow
[01:02.81] It's no use after crying
[01:05.88] Saying it's a mistake
[01:10.72] It's a mistake
[01:15.40] It's a mistake
[01:19.84] It's a mistake
[01:25.53] After the laughter has died away
[01:30.07] And all the boys have had their fun
[01:34.90] No surface noise now, not much to say
[01:39.41] They got the bad guys on the run
[01:43.82] Don't try to say you're sorry
[01:48.42] Don't say he drew his gun
[01:52.92] They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
[01:57.50] He's not the only one
[01:59.80] Saying it's a mistake
[02:05.26] It's a mistake
[02:09.56] It's a mistake
[02:13.85] It's a mistake
[02:19.92] Tell us commander, what do you think?
[02:24.97] 'Cause we know that you love all that power
[02:29.71] Is it on then, are we on the brink?
[02:33.63] We wish you'd all throw in the towel
[02:38.25] We'll not fade out too soon
[02:43.04] Not in this finest hour
[02:47.31] Whistle your favourite tune
[02:51.56] We'll send a card and a flower
[02:54.88] Saying it's a mistake
[02:59.53] It's a mistake
[03:03.87] It's a mistake
[03:08.55] It's a mistake
[03:50.10] It's a mistake
[04:42.63]
