Intro played lightly. Verse 1 The colonel said "these bodies stink" Won't someone come and drag them away We tried to clean em' out but the more I stare And the English colonel turns the other way Oh the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak Well I ran for the trench but I did not turn to speak Well my heart said "yes" but my head said "no" When the English colonel said "its time to go" Chorus He said "what's a few men?" said "what's a few men?" said "what's a few men?" (fill bit) said "what's a few men?" Verse 1 The colonel's job is never done" So he declares time out on Christmas day We held the enemy in our arms And we ploughed each others dead into the clay Oh the lord said that death will be no longer And all of these things will pass away There'll be no sorrow and there'll be no pain And we'll swap cigarettes on Christmas day Well my heart said "yes" but my head said "no" When the English colonel said "its time to go" Chorus Chords till outro end on
