One of Our Submarines (Remastered 2009)

One of our submarines is missing tonight

Seems she ran aground on manoeuvres

One of our submarines

A hungry heart

To regulate their breathing

One more night

The Winter Boys are freezing in their spam tin

The Baltic moon

Along the northern seaboard

And down below

The Winter Boys are waiting for the storm

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye

Shallow water - channel and tide

And I can trace my history

Down one generation to my home

In one of our submarines

One of our submarines

The red lights flicker, sonar weak

Air valves hissing open

Half her pressure blown away

Flounder in the ocean

See the Winter Boys

Drinking heavy water from a stone

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye

Shallow water - channel and tide

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye

Tired illusion drown in the night

And I can trace my history

Down one generation to my home

In one of our submarines

One of our submarines

One of our submarines
