Operation Mincemeat

[Verse 1 - Volk]

The deceptive plan

Hangs in the balance of one

And his dying hour of cursed correlation

No burial, no family to grieve

[Refrain 1 - Volk & Kordic]

From Thompson to Flemming to Cholmondeley

His fate is now sealed inside the Haversack Ruse

[Verse 2 - Kordic  & Volk]

First documents forge

Then plant on his being

Must fool high command

Drop vagrant to sea

Grey moon guide the corpse

To a fisherman's find

[Refrain 2 - Kordic & Volk]

A perfect execution, Mincemeat swallowed whole

Sir Counterfeits are with the Nazi in Spain

[Chorus - Kordic  & Volk]

The man who never was

This man who sealed the operation

The man who never was

[Bridge - Volk]

A man's demise

A tool of war

This cemetery of solitude

War

[Chorus - Kordic  & Volk]

The man who never was

This man who sealed the operation

The man who never was

[Verse 3 - Kordic]

The deceptive plan hangs

In the balance of one

A man's demise

A tool of

War!
