The Piccolo Snare

Have you ever seen the sun
(Have you ever seen the sun)
Rising high to the sound of a gun?
Blue and white and yellow sun
(Blue and white and yellow sun)
Capturing the imagination

We went down to the piccolo drum
Never made it into the hum

Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo snare

Have you ever seen the sea
(Have you ever seen the sea)
Painted red by a bleeding army?
Sky hawks gather for a feast
(Sky hawks gather for a feast)
Of pawns who will never find peace

Tumbledown to the piccolo snare
Never made it into the square

Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo
No-one particular cared

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Now we can go home again
To our old haunts again
Together

Now scatter us all around
Far from the bugle sound
Surrender

Safe in the exclusion zone
Catch me and take me home
As brother fights brother

Wrapped up in tarnished flags
Banners and body bags
Surrender!
Phantom!

(Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming) (X3)
