The Rumjacks - Oh Sergeant Where's Mine? lyrics

I'm lyin' in bed, I'm in room twenty-six
Thinkin' on things that I've done
Like drinkin' wi' squaddies and
Bullin' my boots
I'm countin' the medals I've won

These hospital wards are such
Drab lookin' joints
But the ceiling's as much as I see
It could do with a wee
Touch of paper or paint
But then again, maybe that's me

Oh, Sergeant, is this the adventure you meant
When I put my name down on the line
All yer talk of computers
And sunshine and skis
Oh, I'm askin' you, sergeant, where's mine
I've a brother in Glasgow wi' long
Curly hair
When I joined up he said I was daft
He said shootin' strangers just
Wisnae his game
That brother of mine is nae saft

Oh, Sergeant, is this the adventure you meant
When I put my name down on the line
All yer talk of computers
And sunshine and skis
Oh, I'm askin' you, sergeant, where's mine

But, I can put up wi' most
Things I've done in the time
I can even put up with the pain
But what do you do with a gun in your hand
And youre facin' a hundred odd wanes

Oh, Sergeant, is this the adventure you meant
When I put my name down on the line
All yer talk of computers
And sunshine and skis
Oh, I'm askin' you, sergeant, where's mine

Oh, Sergeant, is this the adventure you meant
When I put my name down on the line
All yer talk of computers
And sunshine and skis
Oh, I'm askin' you, sergeant, where's mine
Oh, I'm askin' you, sergeant, where's mine
Oh, I'm askin' you, sergeant, where's mine
