One Of Our Submarines Lyrics - Singles - Thomas Dolby

One of our submarines is missing tonight 

Seems she ran aground on manoeuvres 

One of our submarines 

A hungry heart to regulate their breathing 

One more night the Winter boys are freezing in their spam tin 

The Baltic moon along the Northern Seaboard 

And down below the Winter boys are waiting for the storm 

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye 

Shallow water, channel and tide 

And I can trace my history 

Down one generation to my home 

In one of our submarines, one of our submarines 

The red light flicker, sonar weak, air valves hissing open 

Half her pressure blown away, flounder in the ocean 

See the Winter boys drinking heavy water from a stone 

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye 

Shallow water, channel and tide 

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye 

Tired illusion drown in the night 

And I can trace my history 

Down one generation to my home 

In one of our submarines 

One of our submarines, one of our submarines 

One of our submarines is missing tonight 

Seems she ran aground on manoeuveres 

One of our submarines
