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
