Oh Sergeant Where's Mine?

(album: Sober & Godless - 2015)

I'm lying in bed, I'm in room twenty-six
And I'm thinking on things that I've done
Like drinking wi' squaddies and bulling my boots
And counting the medals I've won

All these hospital wards are such drab looking joints
But the ceiling's as much as I see
It could do with a wee touch of paper and paint
But then again, maybe that's me

Oh, Sergeant, is this the adventure you meant
When I put my name down on the line?
All yer talk of computers, sunshine and skis
Oh, I'm asking you, Sergeant, where's mine?

I've a brother in Glasgow wi' long, curly hair
When I joined up he said I was daft
He said shooting strangers just wasnae his game
That brother of mine is nae saft

Oh, Sergeant, is this the adventure you meant
When I put my name down on the line?
All yer talk of computers, sunshine and skis
Oh, I'm asking you, Sergeant, where's mine?

I can put up wi' most things I've done in the time
I can even put up with the pain
But what do you do with a gun in your hand
And youre facing a hundred odd wanes

Oh, Sergeant, is this the adventure you meant
When I put my name down on the line?
All yer talk of computers, sunshine and skis
Oh, I'm asking you, Sergeant, where's mine?

Oh, Sergeant, is this the adventure you meant
When I put my name down on the line?
All yer talk of computers, sunshine and skis
Oh, I'm asking you, Sergeant, where's mine?
Oh, I'm asking you, Sergeant, where's mine?
Oh, I'm asking you, Sergeant, where's mine?
