But lest we forget
And you may think that this song comes too late
And a soldier sighs again
And thinks about his kids and English beer
Sorry Tommy, lost a foot?
But no one understands their game
This Tango Atlantico isn't over yet
But lest we forget
But lest we forget
They can't even agree on the name
She flashes victory signs and smokes cigars
The general and the lady dance
He shines his medals up for one last chance
Can you imagine this
And you may think that this song comes too late
This Tango Atlantico isn't over yet
They make a pretty pair
And steps into the pissing rain
And you may think that this song comes too late
Because they can't agree about the stakes
Pulls on his boots again
Bloody land mines, no more soccer for you
And the clouds look just like dirty sheep
They can't agree on anything
But at least he's got a job and he knows he can't complain'
