Napoleon Complex

Sometimes at night when I'm lying on my own
My mind goes places it doesn't normally go
I think of Hiroshima and all those kids just dying alone
And the guy who named the bomb Little Boy

What was it like on Napoleon's boat
And did they actually fight in those ridiculous clothes
Imagine the hassle trying to keep those washed
I bet I'd be the boy with the cleaning job

It's a funny old place this planet were on
A flash in the pan and then were gone
There's so many things we'll never see
You can always stare at the ceiling and dream

Sometimes I wonder what my life would've been like
If I'd been alive during Hitler's time
No doubt about it I'd have flown to Berlin
And bashed in his head with a rolling pin

And how come it never dawned on anyone
That flying to the moon would be good for no-one
Was there any food or shelter up there?
Or was it just a rock floating round in the air

Its a funny old place this planet were on
A flash in the pan and then were gone
There's so many things well never see
You can always stare at the ceiling and dream
