(No More) The Sub Mariner

In my youth I played at trainsnow all steam is gone[00:00:17]

In my dreams brief shelter from the rain[00:00:26]

I try to catch the fireglow[00:00:35]

With Dinky Toys I thought that I was Stirling[00:00:44]

With cricket bat I say myself as Peter May[00:00:48]

Now with all these images returning[00:00:52]

I wonder who I am today[00:00:55]

As a child I refought the war with plastic planes[00:01:00]

And imagination[00:01:21]

I was the saviour of the Nation[00:01:24]

Oh To be the captain of a ship of war[00:01:36]

The pilot of a Tempest or a York[00:01:39]

To hold my trench against the Panzer Korps[00:01:43]

Instead of simply being one who talks[00:01:47]

And reminisces of his fantasies[00:01:55]

As though life was nothing but to lose[00:01:59]

These only antecede the knowledge that eventually[00:02:03]

He must choose[00:02:17]

That our options diminish[00:02:22]

As our faculties for choice increase[00:02:27]

Till we choose everything and nothing[00:02:31]

Too late at the finish[00:03:01]

In my youth I held beliefmy faith and thought were strong[00:03:11]

Of the sight of right and wrong[00:03:36]

Oh To be the son of Che Guevara[00:03:46]

One unit in the serried ranks of black[00:03:54]

A Papist or an Orangeman a eunuch[00:04:14]

Then doubt would never cast the dagger in my back[00:04:19]

Oh To be King John or Douglas Bader[00:04:50]

Humphrey Bogart or Victor Mature[00:04:58]

Which one is false and easy[00:05:04]

Which one harder[00:05:24]

Of this[00:05:32]

Of me[00:05:33]
