lirik lagu jethro tull – queen and country
the wind is on the river and the tide has turned too late,
so we’re sailing for another sh-r- where some other ladies wait.
to throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains —
but we all laugh so politely and we sail on just the same.
for queen and country in the long dying day,
and it’s been this way for five long years,
since we signed our souls away.
we bring back gold and ivory; rings of diamonds; strings of pearls —
make presents to the government
so they can have their social whirl
with queen and country in the long dying day.
and it’s been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
they build schools and they build factories
with the spoils of battles won.
and we remain their pretty sailor boys —
hold our heads up to the gun
of queen and country in the long dying day.
and it’s been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
to queen and country in the long dying day.
and it’s been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
