Pink Military Lyrics

High command decrees we'll attack at noon
Intelligence says it's none too soon
Deep in my foxhole the telephone rings
Informing me of craters and other things
War games
War games
War games
War games

The high pitched voice of a duty sub

Telegraph wires that send me love
Task force one in another name
A small disguise I take no blame
War games
War games
War games
War games

High command decrees we'll attack at noon
Intelligence says it's none too soon
Deep in my foxhole the telephone rings
Informing me of craters and other things
A high pitched voice of a duty sub
Telegraph wires that send me love
Task force one in another name
A small disguise I take no blame
War games
War games
War games
War games

Those exciting weapons should keep it down
Snipers expected so breathe he ran
Of war games
War games
War games
War games

Colm Redmond (ex Wah! Heat, Psycamesh) joined just as they were about to close down while Jayne had her baby, and played on what proved to be their final gigs - one at Brady's and one headlining at the Lyceum in London. There was then a series of recording sessions at SOS and Pennine, none of which was ever released. For these Chris Joyce (later of Simply Red), who played on the album, returned on drums; after Dave Baynton-Power (later James) had replaced him for their tour, Martin Dempsey had left by then and someone called Dave was playing bass.
