If I had a touch of that courage I’d be marching my way through that door But it’s part of my biology To start with an apology And “sorry” won’t win us this war.
If only things were different If only I were different I wish I was a maggot, My insides ripe and liquified. I’d wait in the dark for it all to start Then touch the sky ‘Cos when you are a maggot The parts are already supplied. I’d be born with the things to give me wings so I could fly. Another plan that’s stuck on the ground before it’s invented one more scheme Gets rejected before it’s even dissected Every inch forward, And ten miles back And that’s that Dead in the water again.
I wish I was a tadpole, A slimy nascent thing No need to create I’d just mutate and then I’d swim ‘Cos if I was a tadpole, literally, I could leap forward on a whim There’d be no read tape, I’d just take shape and develop limbs. One day I’ll metamorphosise, The scales will tumble from their eyes And thus shall end this wretched old routine They’ll hear all these ideas of mine And realise that all this time There’s more to me than they have ever seen But until then Until then I wish I was a maggot or a tadpole or a termite or a wasp I don’t know Something that could start small, pupate, grow legs, wings or gills to escape this hell that I’m living in Wait! Maybe I should think big, maybe like a lion or a blue whale, hippopotamus? No! Don’t be ridiculous, this is a problem. God! I wish that I could change my life, Be the one who could hold onto their attention Blow their minds With ideas that defy human comprehension Make them say “Oh Cholmondely you clever chap.” But I’m back, dead in the water again Oh I don’t know, maybe I’ll just, I’ll just, um pop it in the tray

“Did we do it Johnny? Did we do it?” “We did it!” “Oh I knew it” “As much as I hate to admit it Montagu” “Oh I’m a genius” “Here we go” “Oh I can’t believe this, I need a gin” “Sicily is ours for the taking” “Charles, congratulations! Everyone in fact” “That’s brilliant”
I can’t believe they bought it Oh Charlie don’t complain Really brilliant God that’s brilliant It seems our Bill succeeded on his little trip to Spain Really brilliant But we gambled so much on it God that’s brilliant Oh my god, are we insane? Really brilliant We bet the whole war on a stolen corpse God that’s brilliant Quite right, where’s that champagne? Really brilliant Monty, our men could have been massacred if we did not succeed Look Charlie some were born to follow Don’t you say it! Listen here my good man,

For the marvellous men God that’s brilliant And dependable ladies they’ll talk about Really brilliant Operation mincemeat for years! God that’s brilliant Wait and see Charles
“Yes Mr Churchill, sir. I’m pleased to report that the allied invasion of Sicily was a success.”
You see, Adolf believed all the lies that we spread Using a dead man’s documents we turned his head We forced his forces to fly So when our boys arrived There was minimal resistance The majority survived on both sides The lack of loss was spectacular And Operation Mincemeat avoided a massacre So Montagu and Cholmondeley for saving our nation I’m awarding them the highest military commendations
You see, Charles ‘Cos when you write the book I never doubted them My boy, you’re off the hook My best and boldest man The lies get hidden, sins forgiven All your misdeeds fade from vision, When you write the book you’re off the hook.Operation Mincemeat - Dear Bill (Official Audio)Operation Mincemeat2023-05-12 | Operation Mincemeat – Dear Bill (Official Audio) Stream Operation Mincemeat here: https://OperationMincemeat.lnk.to/AlbumOutNow Subscribe to the Operation Mincemeat YouTube Channel: https://OperationMincemeat.lnk.to/Yt_subscribe
Dear Bill, I’m afraid I’ve not got long to write; I’m off to Mary’s, You know how she feels about bridge night, But it’s been a few days I thought I’d send a few lines.
Next door’s greyhound came into the garden this morning, I think he likes the roses they’re doing fine, I used some twine to tie them up and rein them in, I hope they’ll bloom next Spring, But you’ll see that for yourself I’m following the instructions you left in your note: “Please devote all your time to their care.” And I have done I swear, except from the talking, I’m not going to do that. ‘Cause talking to the roses is mad and you knew that. When you whispered sweet nothings to flowers to make my dad cross and me laugh And it did And why did we meet in the middle of a war? What a silly thing for anyone to do Your sister sends her love, of course And your mother “is the same as ever” Diana’s piano is getting much better “Well, I say better, I really just mean louder.” But as she tells me That’s pretty much the same. When it makes a change from all of the noise and the sirens And sometimes all of the silence With six rounds of “Jingle Bells” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” even though it is June “And it’s been a long summer” But she wants to be perfect for her older brother. She hopes you’ll be home again soon No! She knows you’ll be home again soon And it’s fine And we’re fine It’s nice to watch her get better with time. I suppose they just miss you. I know they just miss you And I’m not going to argue with that.
And why did we meet in the middle of a war? What a silly thing for anyone to do And I’m trying my best to write everything down, To fill in the gaps so that when you’re around It’ll be like you’d never been gone As if you’d been all along ‘Cause you can’t just miss out on the songs
And to tell you the truth Tom, Your roses aren’t thriving Without you they’re dull Don’t worry, they’re surviving But I’ve tried all the tricks that you put in your note And I’ve watered the soil ‘till it started to float And no, I’ve not talked to them, I’m not going to talk to them There’s something you have that I just don’t have
And since you’re off galivanting it’s only fair that you know That your roses quite frankly were the first things to go. And no, you’re not galivanting I don’t mean galivanting It’s just frustrating for you to be right When I have to do both the sides of this fight But it’s good to hear you Even just in my head. And the roses just miss you. I know they just miss you. And I’m not going to argue with that There’s so much to do when you come back And I know that they say that it’s “all for a cause” Our brave boys out fighting a war to end wars But it’s like they don’t see that when you’re far from me Our roses don’t get the conversation they need Which just seems unfair I’m stuck here and you’re there. I suppose I just miss you I know I just miss you Even though I still miss you

So I was up there flying high in style right over Spain But then I feel something there’s a thudding then suddenly, What! Hot dog! The plane is stalling Jeez Louise! I think I’m falling And that big old ocean’s calling out but…
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this”
I, I gotta good feeling An American pilot I’m feeling good about this crash He’s crashed in Huelva ‘Cos though drowning is not too appealing
“His name is Willy Watkins”
I do so love to cause a great big splash
“And he’s very loud”
I’ve Charles, wait- I’ve gotta bad feeling Keep it together Our plan is going down the drain It’s a bump in the road! The Germans will be disbelieving Keep breathing When they hear two pilots crashed in neutral Spain Pilots crash all the time, it’s fine I feel fine and dandy I think he needs a physician Missions hit these snags all the time It’s a bad sign! ‘Cos when your plane goes down and you can’t see land You’ll soon be lying on the sand So cut loose, ya goose! And keep on feeling fine Scoo-ba-dee deet-n-dat-n-doo doo Charles, please stop dry heaving
“This could sink the mission!”
Well this is war Things never go quite to plan Ba-dow! Where the hell’s our man? Huelva for London London receiving Skee-ba doo-ba doo-ba doob-ie Another pilot’s washed up on the sand And he’s dead this time! Phew! See Charles! The plan is working like I knew it would Bill’s arrived our efforts weren’t in vain But they smell a rat! What? Two planes crash in the very same spot They’re chopping Bill open to see what’s what A coroner’s coming The top man here in Spain Oh god! Oh I Charlie it’s fine I gotta good feeling An autopsy! I’m feeling good about this corpse Sure Bill’s skin has slowly been peeling Congealing But he’ll be ruled a drowning, Spilsbury swore! And you trust that man? Of course! So what’s the use in fretting Oh god I’m sweating There’s no telling what another day will bring I need a drink! For there could be a hole in the boat And who knows if you’ll sink or you’ll float
“Nice” “Thanks!”
But everything will work out swell If we keep on feeling
“Hassleden get to that autopsy and make sure they think he drowned.”
Fine!

It’s still London We’re still cockneys But we’ve got new information!
Spilsbury Remember Bernard Spilsbury No? There’s been a slight alteration in his reputation The nation’s irate I’m quite upset He spits out errors He pukes up lies He’s the kind of conman we despise!
It’s Spilsbury Spilsbury That phony Bernard Spilsbury!
I thought I knew ev’rything about bodies Spilsbury My fall from grace has taken me by surprise That con-man Spilsbury! So what, I used to bluff Disgrace! When I didn’t know my stuff That face! But now the scales have fallen from our eyes
I used to be revered by everybody Spilsbury But it turns out that I am a fraud Sir Bernard Spilsbury! My character’s under fire He’s a scoundrel! And a liar! Agreed!

We’ve just received an intercept of news from the Reich It seems that Hitler and his boys are getting ready to strike And if they trap us in Africa then our plans get scrapped So we need to get busy hitting Sicily stat. The invasion date is set, We’ve got to prep, We’ve got to step up our attempts to lessen pressure, Eliminate the threat To find a way to get his men redeployed If we don’t act soon our boys will be destroyed We have a plan in place to dodge defeat A bit of misinformation we call Operation Mincemeat The plan is underway The team are keen to say they’re resolute We’ll absolutely get the good news any day Stressed? Of course, I’m stressed We don’t know if they’ve found him yet Oh god, I’m feeling ill Monty, where the hell is Bill?

So! Ladies and Hello! What? No! so ladies and Charles! Try again, here we go Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered today to present our plan. A genius scheme, Yes A brand new team. Uh-huh We truly are a well oiled Exactly
Johnny, picture the scene:
What if a British pilot crashed his plane, Then washed ashore in the south of Spain His body forgotten Rotting in the sun. So we’ve lost our man, Our hideous hero, The Spanish get a whiff of him, Oh Dios mio And then Oh Oh I’m sorry No Now you go “You can do this Charlie” So they find our man Yes I get the gist! And the brief-case we’ve fixed to his wrist Jam packed with details of our next attack.
“If you see what we’re saying”
But how does this send the Germans to Sardinia Oh Johnny I know that the suspense is killing ya! Relax! And we’ll tell you all that you need to know So as you’re aware Spain is rife With German spies who are bound to umm Materialise! Right! Once they know the Spaniards have our boy So our Allied Sardinian invasion plans Will fly on the sly into enemy hands Telling Adolf exactly where to go
“He’ll go to Sardinia” “Was that clear?”
They’ll do background checks We’ll get his papers set We could fake his ID? You know I’m pleased we met Jean that’s enough You need me here to pick up the slack If we could maybe get back on track We’ll rewrite history Our cadaver will be as traceable and real as you or me And I trust that a body can be found that will look to an expert freshly drowned
“Now that is an interesting little” “That’s one for you Charles I think” “Umm well,” “I see” “Wait John, you wanted bold ideas, this is your chance. Mincemeat is the plan you’ve been waiting for to get us into Sicily”
We need to trick the Hun, Get them off our tails Mincemeat is the plan that could tip the scales A Trojan horse Or rather Trojan corpse The key to taking Sicily back by force To win the fight it must be water tight. Find a body Yes Johnny now give us the green light We’ve told you all you need to know So just say yes and then we’ll go Fine! You have your orders What? You have your orders! Yes You have your orders! Now go.Operation Mincemeat - Act as If (Official Audio)Operation Mincemeat2023-05-12 | Operation Mincemeat – Act As If (Official Audio) Stream Operation Mincemeat here: operationmincemeat.lnk.to/albumoutnow Subscribe to the Operation Mincemeat YouTube Channel: https://OperationMincemeat.lnk.to/Yt_subscribe
So, Hitler’s on the track and he’s heading for the border We take out a porter that no-one will miss Now our boy’s undercover he poisons the water God that’s brilliant! But listen to this…
I’ve designed a new kind of missile So tiny it’s shot from a pen It’s full of airborn sedative Time to effect is relative but one whiff’s enough to floor ten grown men We’ll shoot him on route, our pursuit will be fruitful, and the Fuhrer is out cold
But what the hell happens then?
So Hitler’s on the train and he’s feeling kind of tired He’s drugged in a fug like a mental abyss Mein pants have been stolen! We’ll trade them for Poland!
God that’s brilliant But listen to this…
Tar: But I haven’t got to the exploding socks yet! Montagu: You’ve had a verse…
I know a lady assassin She’s lithe but impossibly strong She’s killed half of Moscow She owns her own crossbow A master of disguise who can speak any tongue She’s stationed in Haiti, patiently waiting But one call from me and she’ll be ours for a song
So… Hitler’s on the train and he’s coming back from Burma Our girl hurls herself from a nearby tree She crashes through the window Disguised as a flamingo In the whirl that unfurls she kills a guard or three She raises up her knife It’s dripping blood from the slaughter! Hitler shits himself as she blows him a kiss! His guards try to pour in, she barricades the door and God that’s brilliant but listen to this If this is a man in a fancy suit…! All that we need is a swanky tuxedo
Flemming, stop going on about your bloody novel Several publishers are interested! Your mother doesn’t count Come on boys, remember what Churchill said…
If you want to beat them Jerries You gotta call upon the visionaries ‘Cos if you’re in trouble don’t scream and shout Just call the English public school boys We’ll sort it all out! It’s time for ambition, to show you’ve got vision We’re the best brains in Britain now listen to this!
All we need is a shiny tuxedo (here we go!) And my design for a submarine car (for god’s sake About seventy pretty ladies Aston Martin or Mercedes A base in a volcano and a laser cigar Some crocodile moccasins, a watch with a garrote in it, a vodka martini waiting at the bar and There’s our man who’s a really famous hero He wears cool suits and he has a big gun He has great adventures and ladies want to kiss him
I do like it when the ladies want to kiss me! God he’s brilliant and his name is James I’ve even got a catch phrase from him! The name’s James…. James NO
Hitler’s on a train Or a boat Or other vehicle We send in an assassin Or a robot That’s illegal! Shoot him Stab him Grab him And he’s wearing a tuxedo! He kills the guard, snogs the girl and says something cool No! We tie him up, poison him, I think this plan has veered off.. We bring him back to blighty, Steal his trousers Blow his head off Our victory’s assured, We go to win the war God that’s brilliant! God that’s brilliant! God we’re brilliant!
