The Happy Soldier Lyrics
I've been thinking
Why don't we
Jump onboard some gunship
And sail away to sea
And if I'm seized by enemy
Of any kind
I don't mind
They'll be sorry
Wait and see
The SAS will rescue me
I've been thinking
I'm so bored
What a life to live and die
By the silver sword
And if I'm crashed on stormy seas
The darkness falls and all I see
Is a desert island
That's ok
I'll use the stars to find my way
If I'm drifting to no-man's land
GHQ will lend a hand
And there's nothing king and country wouldn't do for me
And if I'm crashed on stormy seas
The darkness falls and all I see
Is a desert island
That's ok
I'll use the stars to find my way
If I'm drifting to no-man's land
GHQ will lend a hand
And there's nothing king and country wouldn't do for me
Why don't we
Jump onboard some gunship
And sail away to sea
Of any kind
I don't mind
They'll be sorry
Wait and see
The SAS will rescue me
I'm so bored
What a life to live and die
By the silver sword
The darkness falls and all I see
Is a desert island
That's ok
I'll use the stars to find my way
If I'm drifting to no-man's land
GHQ will lend a hand
And there's nothing king and country wouldn't do for me
The darkness falls and all I see
Is a desert island
That's ok
I'll use the stars to find my way
If I'm drifting to no-man's land
GHQ will lend a hand
And there's nothing king and country wouldn't do for me
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
apart from the positive messages of one fighting with pride for their country as opposed to living a boring existence which doesn't suit them... this song carries a much greater meaning for me
... it is that no matter the circumstance there are always different ways of approaching it... and as the lyrics reveal there are always positives; making this an uplifting song ... even whilst discussing such possible outcomes as being killed for your country in the line of duty.
the fact that i hate war probably makes me interpret it more so for general life
anyway just thought this song deserved a comment as it could easily be their best... i rank it only behind 'The Way You Want It' - so i recommend getting this song (there are always ways) and enjoy :)
What do SAS and GHQ exactly mean? (Perhaps it's obvious, but I speak Spanish) By the way, it's a beautiful song.
Estos términos no son muy obvios. SAS significa Special Air Service, una unidad de operaciones especiales de Inglaterra. GHQ significa General Headquarters, o cuartel general, es la sede de las fuerzas armadas británicas--
very pretty song
