Screaming On The Beaches - It Bites

I knew a man he was old and very shaken

He told of hearts that still were breaking

Of days gone by and foreign shorelines

Air attack and Dodging Landmines

Everyone’s a hero but still they have to die

His friend told me it was no lie

They’re beating up the wrong guy

Watching the days go by, Screaming on the Beaches

And they’re screaming on the beaches

And they’re holding back the leaches

With a tearful eye he told of friends he’d left there laying

Macho men who cried and turned to praying

Running around to dodge disaster

Their heads held low and hearts get faster

Everyone’s a hero but still they have to die

There’s a human link somewhere out there

They’re holding up the waitline
