Waving the flag as he fell to the ground -
While the locals rejoiced in liberation.
So take those ice cold islands back -
Almighty Union Jack! A thousand
Victories will be behind you, in royal
Fashion the colonies, the land swept up
In the naval destruction out at sea.
No wire to the U.K. - no moral
Ground can prepare us to die at
Falkland Sound.
So take those ice cold islands back
Almighty Union Jack! A thousand
Victories will be behind you, when will
We learn to cease the fire. My friends
In modern times - we need a better way.
