"Operation Mincemeat" lyrics
The deceptive plan
Hangs in the balance of one
And his dying hour of cursed correlation
No burial, no family to grieve
From Thompson to Flemming to Cholmondeley
His fate is now sealed inside the Haversack Ruse
First documents forge
Then plant on his being
Must fool high command
Drop vagrant to sea
Grey moon guide the corpse
To a fisherman's find
A perfect execution, Mincemeat swallowed whole
Sir Counterfeits are with the Nazi in Spain
The man who never was
This man who sealed the operation
The man who never was
A man's demise
A tool of war
This cemetery of solitude
War
The man who never was
This man who sealed the operation
The man who never was
The deceptive plan hangs
In the balance of one
A man's demise
A tool of
War!
Hangs in the balance of one
And his dying hour of cursed correlation
No burial, no family to grieve
From Thompson to Flemming to Cholmondeley
His fate is now sealed inside the Haversack Ruse
First documents forge
Then plant on his being
Must fool high command
Drop vagrant to sea
Grey moon guide the corpse
To a fisherman's find
A perfect execution, Mincemeat swallowed whole
Sir Counterfeits are with the Nazi in Spain
The man who never was
This man who sealed the operation
The man who never was
A man's demise
A tool of war
This cemetery of solitude
War
The man who never was
This man who sealed the operation
The man who never was
The deceptive plan hangs
In the balance of one
A man's demise
A tool of
War!
