Albert Hammond - The Day The British Army Lost The War lyrics

Your father spent his life on a military base He made the army his career He pinned your pictures up in the officer's mess And hoped you'd marry a bombardier But you had a crush on the son of a working man I know that made the major sore But still he smiled with the utmost self-control The day the British army lost the war And they argued over tea And they argued over me And they sent you to your room and locked the door Yes, and they argued over tea Haha!, argued over me The day the British army lost the war But I know you loved you old man very much But then I know you loved me more And I loved you more than I even loved myself The day the British army lost the war And they argued over tea And they argued over me And they sent you to your room and locked the door Yes, and they argued over tea And they argued over me The day the British army lost the war The day the British army lost the war
