Glad It's All Over Lyrics
Submarines in the harbour
incognito
Submarines of your dreams
not mine
The red red sky
must take the prize
For giving to the people
who never never go to war
We´re glad it´s all over
We´re glad it´s all over
We´re glad it´s all over
Hidden tunnels
Secret items
Guarded fences
Planet Earth
Testing ground
Right now
The blue blue moon
Knows that soon
We'll be searching for the people
Who never never went to war
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
The red red sky
must take the prize
The red red sky
is giving to the people
that never never go to war
We´re glad it´s all over
We´re glad it´s all over
We´re glad it´s all over
is giving to the people
that never never go to war
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
incognito
Submarines of your dreams
not mine
The red red sky
must take the prize
For giving to the people
who never never go to war
We´re glad it´s all over
We´re glad it´s all over
Secret items
Guarded fences
Planet Earth
Testing ground
Right now
The blue blue moon
Knows that soon
We'll be searching for the people
Who never never went to war
We're glad it's all over
must take the prize
The red red sky
is giving to the people
that never never go to war
We´re glad it´s all over
We´re glad it´s all over
that never never go to war
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over
We're glad it's all over

Almost....Almost there.
I saw him perform this song live back in the day. He finished it with a final line of "take this world away from them and give it to the people who never ever went to war". It was really moving and I remember it vividly.
Supports the Swedish theory.
I remember when this came out it was said that the song was about an incident when a soviet (communist Russia) submarine was reported to have been detected submerged in a harbour in Sweden.
On the wikipedia page about Captain Sensible it says that the song is an anti Falklands war song but this seems unlikely if you read/listen to the lyrics and look at this wikipedia page which details several instances of Soviet submarines entering Swedish waters during the Cold War

During recent European conflicts the Swedes have remained neutral and have not taken part in any wars, so they could be described as "the people who "never, never go to war"
