Tango Atlantico

[Verse 1]

It's Christmas time again

Ah, has it really been a year?

And a soldier sighs again

And thinks about his kids and English beer

Pulls on his boots again

And steps into the pissing rain

And the clouds look just like dirty sheep

But at least he's got a job

And he knows he can't complain

[Chorus]

And you may think that this song comes too late

But lest we forget

This Tango Atlantico isn't over yet

[Verse 2]

Can you imagine this?

The general and the lady dance

She flashes victory signs and smokes cigars

He shines his medals up for one last chance

They make a pretty pair

But no one understands their game

Because they can't agree about the stakes

They can't agree on anything

They can't even agree on the name

[Chorus]

And you may think that this song comes too late

But lest we forget

This Tango Atlantico isn't over yet

[Bridge]

Oh, sorry Tommy

Lost a foot?

Bloody land mines

No more soccer for you

[Chorus]

And you may think that this song comes too late

But lest we forget

This Tango Atlantico isn't over yet
