Lyrics Ship to Shore - The Stanfields

Ship to Shore

See the world in technicolor,
see what you can do
Five in niner fiddlesticks
to tango echo two
Miles away from wasting
at the local five and dime,
to wishin you were somewhere
else to help you pass the time.
Armed to the teeth and underneath
a relentless foreign sun.
Armed to the teeth and underneath
a relentless foreign sun.
Riots, blood, sand and mud
Was all I got to see,
In Kandahar, El Salvador, Belfast and Barbary.
I went, «Manny steady lad"and
Shivered to the bone.
So I danced a jig in Ladysmith
And wished that I was home.
Armed to the teeth and underneath
a relentless foreign sun.
Armed to the teeth and underneath
a relentless foreign sun.
Just another lowly victim in
The struggle for hearts and minds.
To the fighting sons and daughters
In the struggle of their life.
Guns and pipers,
Ship to shore
Off to fight a rich man’s war
Like our father’s did before.
Just another lowly victim in
The struggle for hearts and minds.
To the fighting sons and daughters
In the struggle of their life.
Guns and pipers,
Ship to shore
Off to fight a rich man’s war
Like our father’s did before.
Guns and pipers,
Ship to shore
Off to fight a rich man’s war
Like our father’s did before.
Guns and pipers,
Ship to shore
Ship to shore
Ship to shore
