Tango Atlantico lyrics

[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 p*ssing 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
