Blue Peter Take Me To War
Where is the voice that left me behind?
In a darkened room, at the window
Where is the girl who led me to shore?
Eyes to the sea, knocking at my door
There is tomorrow, head on my pillow
Breath in my arms, voice in my ear
Where is the treasure I buried upstream?
Left on a map from a midnight dream
Come on take me to war
Take me to war
I’m ready for invasion
Take me to shore
Need no persuasion
Then I hear that hollow voice
Throat is thirsty, head like straw
Won’t you sway, sway, sway in the wind now
Looking out to the sea
We’ll defend this field for a thousand years
Come on take me to war
Take me to war
I’m ready for invasion
Take me to shore
Need no persuasion at all
Watch the sun sinking down, down
Watch it melt in the water
Now tell me who’s that girl who holds the fire?
Throat is rusted, rusted
Smell the distant smoke
The flames are warm, but the night will be cold
Come on take me to war
Take me to war
I’m ready for invasion
Take me to shore
Need no persuasion
Take me to war
Take me to war
I’m ready for invasion
Take me to shore
I need no persuasion
Take me to war
Take me to war
Take me to war
Take me to shore
Take me to shore
Take me to shore
