So take me back behind Hedgerows we lay behind the Same day we lost our minds The day we started the war Oh we were fifteen years old And we were fifteen boys cold Swigging cheap vodka Oh it was still Worth fighting for
And you told me that day Things would always be that way Things would stay the same The day we started the war And you sold me a dream We'd take everything we'd say Oh we would be two kings and Bottles in hand - oh we go
(Chorus) La, la la la singing These lives are for living Won't wait no more for some Hero, to take me away La la la singing We missed the last train and Life goes too fast but now We don't need heroes anyway
Now all my friends they've got Girlfriends and sandwiches they They take the bus to work The work that they, worked so hard for And on a Friday night they Dance in the nightclub light they Try find a girl they like Or pass out with a smile on the floor Cus they sold them a dream Dream of the Western man the Dream of a good health plan To sit in a retirement home But not me - I still believe We'll take everything we see Oh we will be too kings and Bottles in hand - oh we go
