Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello


Don't start that talking

I could talk all night

My mind is sleepwalking

While I'm putting the world to right

 

Call careers information

Have you got yourself an occupation?

 

Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

 

There was a checkpoint Charlie

He didn't crack a smile

But it's no laughing party

When you've been on the murder mile

Only takes one itchy trigger

One more widow one less white nigger

 

Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

 

Hong Kong is up for grabs

London is full of Arabs

We could be in Palestine

Overrun by a Chinese line

With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

 

But there's no danger

It's a profession a career

Though it could be arranged

With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear

 

If you're out of luck or out of work

We could send you to Johannesburg

 

Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

 

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
