lirik lagu the recruiting sergeant – levellers
over the mountains
and over the sea
by hercules transporter
to fight the afghani
with a rifle in my hand
to set the country free
but it’s your picture in my pocket
that means everything to me
so i’ve fixed-up the alarm
and broken half way in
when the security guard appears
and busts me on the chin
he kicks me ’round and says
“do you know the sh-t you’re in?”
i said “i was on me -rs- mate”
meant no offence to him
i was over the mountains
and over the sea
by hercules transporter
to fight the afghani
with a rifle in my hand
to set the country free
but it’s your picture in my pocket
that means everything to me
i know i let you down babe
trying to make ends meet
when i met this recruiting seargeant
by the courthouse on the street
he said “you’re a disgrace boy
and that’s a f-cking crime”
then somebody got the drinks in
and i signed on the dotted line
and i was over the mountains
and over the sea
by hercules transporter
to fight the afghani
with a rifle in my hand
to set the country free
but it’s your picture in my pocket
that means everything to me
now i’m sucking dust in helmand
dug in to lashkar gar
where the local weed and opium
beats any british bar
i know as we lay there dreaming
i’m still in the pay of theives
and i’m rushing back to be with you
upon this desert breeze
it’s blowing over the mountains
and over the sea
by hercules transporter
to fight the afghani
with a rifle in my hand
to set the country free
but it’s your picture in my pocket
that means everything to me
don’t follow me to die boys
in bl–dy kandahar
with the eerie glow of tracers
lighting every wretched scar
who will say a prayer for me
and cry each year this day?
if you see a recruiting seargeant boys
run, run away
run over the mountains
and over the sea
by hercules transporter
to fight the afghani
with a rifle in my hand
to set the country free
but it’s your picture in my pocket
that means everything to me
and it’s over the mountains
and over the sea
by hercules transporter
to fight the afghani
with a rifle in my hand
to set the country free
but it’s your picture in my pocket
that means everything to me
it’s your picture in my pocket
that means everything to me
