The Day The British Army Lost The War Lyrics - It Never Rains In Southern California - Albert Hammond

Hammond-Hazelwood 

Your father spent his life on a military base 

He made the army his career 

He pinned your pictures up in the officer's mess 

And hoped you'd marry a bombardier 

But you had a crush on the son of a working man 

I know that made the major sore 

But still he smiled with the utmost self-control 

The day the British army lost the war 

And they argued over tea 

And they argued over me 

And they sent you to your room and locked the door 

Yes, and they argued over tea 

Haha!, argued over me 

The day the British army lost the war 

But I know you loved you old man very much 

But then I know you loved me more 

And I loved you more than I even loved myself 

The day the British army lost the war 

And they argued over tea 

And they argued over me 

And they sent you to your room and locked the door 

Yes, and they argued over tea 

And they argued over me 

The day the British army lost the war 

The day the British army lost the war
