Girl in the War

Peter said to Paul you know all those words we wrote

Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go

But now talking to God is Laurel begging Hardy for a gun

I got a girl in the war man I wonder what it is we done

Paul said to Peter you got to rock yourself a little harder

Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire

But I got a girl in the war Paul the only thing I know to do

Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through

Because the keys to the Kingdom got lost inside the Kingdom

And the angels fly around in there but we can¹t see them

I got a girl in the war Paul

I know that they can here me yell

If they can¹t find a way to help her they can go to Hell

Paul said to Peter you got to rock yourself a little harder

Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire

But I got a girl in the war Paul her eyes are like champagne

They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain

They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain

They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain

I know Mick you need a melody, so here's a link to an MP3 of the song:
