One Of Our Submarines

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
