sitting in the subway
using aIl the front rows
getting back to HQ
already wearing blue
talking ’bout the weekend
how much they drank
talking ’bout the girls
and their disco-whirls
the girls they didn’t fuck
Sunday morning such a head
Saturday night along the wall
didn’t dance at all
the only thing that felt good
and got them in a real good mood
was that fuckin’ fight
they started Friday night
royal marines — defending the flag
royal marines — heads in a bag
royal marines — defending the flag
royal marines — heads in a bag
sitting in a green bus
hair nice and short
getting to the station
for a short vacation
they saw me on my bike
they lifted their berets
and pointed on their heads
it really made me mad
they looked just like monkeys
locked in a cage
pulling silly faces
they were so courageous
royal marines, royal marines
defending the flag, heads in a bag
