Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right
Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right
Call careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation?
[Chorus]
Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
[Verse 2]
There was a Checkpoint Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile
Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger
[Chorus]
Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
[Bridge]
Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by the Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
[Verse 3]
But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mister Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg
[Chorus]
Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
[Outro]
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
Start ikke det at tale
Jeg kunne tale hele natten
Mit sind går sleepwalking
Mens jeg sætter verden til højre
Ring karriere information
Har du selv en besættelse?
[Kor]
Oliver's Army er her for at blive
Oliver's Army er på vej
Og jeg vil hellere være andre steder
Men her i dag
[Vers 2]
Der var et checkpoint Charlie
Han sprang ikke et smil
Men det er ikke grinende parti
Når du har været på mordmilen
Kun tager en kløende trigger
En anden enke, en mindre hvid nigger
[Kor]
Oliver's Army er her for at blive
Oliver's Army er på vej
Og jeg vil hellere være andre steder
Men her i dag
[Bro]
Hong Kong er op for grabs
London er fuld af arabere
Vi kunne være i Palæstina
Overskredet af den kinesiske linje
Med drengene fra Mersey og Themsen og Tyne
[Vers 3]
Men der er ingen fare
Det er en professionel karriere
Selvom det kunne arrangeres
Med bare et ord i Mister Churchills øre
Hvis du er ude af lykke eller ude af arbejde
Vi kunne sende dig til Johannesburg
[Kor]
Oliver's Army er her for at blive
Oliver's Army er på vej
Og jeg vil hellere være andre steder
Men her i dag
[Outro]
Og jeg vil hellere være andre steder
Men her i dag
Og jeg vil hellere være andre steder
Men her i dag
Og jeg vil hellere være andre steder
Men her i dag
