I knew a sick boy soldier
Who grinned at life
Slept soundly
Through the darkness
And whistled to the night
He comes from a town of normal Which he is ashamed
People will remember him kindly But no one remembers his name
It gets cold in the winter sometimes I get lost when the feeling ain’t
right And mother can’t sleep at night She gets lost in the feeling
But her feeling ain’t right
I knew a sick boy soldier
Who laughed at life
Slept soundly
Through the darkness
And whistled to the night
He comes from a town of normal Which he is ashamed
People will remember him kindly But no one remembers his name
It gets cold in the winter sometimes I get lost when the feeling ain’t
right And mother can’t sleep at night She gets lost in the feeling
But her feeling ain’t right
No no no no no no no no
The feeling ain’t right
Oh carry on
The ships and sails are gone
This place is falling down
Lord it’s crumbling
It’s crumbling to the ground
Oh carry on
The pirates and sailors have gone This ship is sinking now
Lord it’s crumbling
It’s crumbling to the ground
It gets cold in the winter sometimes
I get lost when the feeling ain’t right And mother can’t sleep at night
She gets lost in the feeling
But her feeling ain’t right
