Lyrics

We love them We mourn for them Unlucky boys of red

I wish I'd gone down Gone down with them To where mother nature makes their bed

We miss them Everynight we kiss them Their faces fixed in our heads

I wish I'd gone down Gone down with them To where mother nature makes their bed

They can't hurt you Their style will never desert you Because they're all safely dead

I wish I'd gone down Gone down with them To where mother nature makes their bed
