Reinforcements Lyrics - The Island Years - Sparks

I'm on guard again but unprepared to fend for myself in a battle 

You wont tell me why the shrubbery moves 

Or why there always has to be subterfusion 

You wont even say "at ease" 

After waging a costly siege 

When a potentate ain't so potent in his state he summons help fast 

Unilaterally I withdraw 

What was peace is now a grand coup d'etat 

The Purple Heart for valour please 

And no heart for you Denise 

Reinforcements, reinforcements 

I could use a strong rear guard 

Reinforcements, reinforcements 

First the left flank, then the right 

I'd sooner work the PX tonight

Spoken: You intercept my S.O.S in order that no 

news of my distress will ever reach the 

homefront and about my camouflage, 

well, it didn't work on you ... in fact most 

things they tell recruits never seem to do 

Photos 

Raise my rank if I should last another night so tortuous 

Reinforcements, reinforcements 

I don't want a tete-a-tete 

Reinforcements, reinforcements 

Let's reach accord, and ink a pact 

Then, please dismiss your regiment
