One Of Our Submarines

One of our submarines is missing tonight

Seems she ran aground on manoeuvres

One of our submarinesA hungry heart to regulate their breathing

One more night the Winter boys are freezing in their spam time

The Baltic moon along the Northern Seaboard

And down below the Winter boys are waiting for the stormBye-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 submarinesThe red light 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 stoneBye-bye empire, empire bye-bye

Shallow water, channel and tide

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye

Tired illusion drown in the nightAnd I can trace my history

Down one generation to my home

In one of our submarines

One of our submarines, one of our submarinesOne of our submarines is missing tonight

Seems she ran aground on manoeuveres

One of our submarines
