The Picollo Snare

Have you ever seen the sun

(Have you ever seen the sun, have you ever seen the sun)

Rising high to the sound of a gun?

Blue and white and yellow sun

(Blue and white and yellow sun, blue and white and yellow sun)

Capturing imagination

We went down to the piccolo drum

Never made it into the hum

Down to the piccolo

Down to the piccolo

Down to the piccolo snare

Have you ever seen the sea

(Have you ever seen the sea)

Painted red by a bleeding army?

Sky hawks gather for a feast

(Sky hawks gather for a feast)

Of pawns who will never find peace

Tumbledown to the piccolo snare

Never made it into the square

Down to the piccolo

Down to the piccolo

No one particular cared

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Now! We can go home again

To our old haunts again

Together

Now scatter us all around

Far from the bugle sound

Surrender

Safe in the exclusion zone

Catch me and take me home

As brother fights brother

Wrapped up in tarnished flags

Banners and body bags

Surrender!

(Surrender!)

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
