Thick as Thieves |
| We promised to make a difference |
| You and I |
| Both still young, feeling smart |
| Now in the light of this shaded lamp |
| I can almost see your smile |
| Dreamt of travelling land and sea |
| And thus we did, my friend |
| You and me |
| Thick as thieves we were |
| Thick as thieves we were |
| Oh, and time was at our side |
| Well, at least so we believed |
| One day our nations prepared for a fight |
| And you and I had to join opposite sides |
| Never we shall behold the green fields |
| Or hear the birds sing in May |
| Our youth, our old day sacrificed |
| And with our lives we did pay |
| Dreamt of travelling land and sea |
| And thus we did, my friend |
| You and me |
| Thick as thieves we were |
| Thick as thieves we were |
| Dreams shattered in filthy trenches |
| Our lungs filled with musterd gas |
| Beneath the grey skies |
| In the fields of Flanders |
| Dreams shattered in filthy trenches |
| Our lungs filled with musterd gas |
| A torn cross bearing your name |
| In the grass |
| Oh, and time was at our side |
| Well at least so we believed |
| One day our nations prepaired for a fight |
| Oh, and time was at our side |
| Well at least so we believed |
| And you and I had to join opposite sides |
| Thick as thieves we were |
