by Harry Manx (c) 2001

Lines were drawn, forces gathered

All at the foot of our bed

Planned attack without retreats

Battles were fought deep in our heads

Spoke of war, rattled our swords

Brought out the great big guns

Halfway through a long campaign

We got tired of the bloody fun

Oh, roses given

Truce was signed without a shot

We drank to our new deal

Felt so good about what we got

We ended up, oh lord, half peeled

Silence rules my day

Give me some more of the same

The prize is not so much in the goal... oh, no, no, no

It's the playing of the game

Roses given

Sure we bark and sometimes bite

Never use our teeth

Ain't it lovely that the war is over

Now we get us some god damn relief

Days of struggle cast aside

Still I can get the shakes

Till the next one learns to fly

I'm here... with what it takes

Roses given
