Lyrics

Wake up
You're standing on the bed again
Shouting fire at the top of your lungs

Take cover
Trying to find your men in trenches and barbed wire
And keep them from harm

It's only in your head
I try to tell you it's only in your head
Retreat my darling and come back to bed

Highest honours pinned upon a broken heart
For a hero's gallantry
I'll be the one who shakes your shoulders hard
Leads you out of your battle back under the sheets

Look out the window there's our sanctuarious back yard
Where it's peaceful and calm
Bursting with flowers that we steal from the parliament gardens
And keep them from harm

It's only in your head
I try to tell you it's only in your head
Retreat my darling and come back to bed
