Lyrics

When the world is such a mess It's hard not to feel depressed Getting stressed by what may come in time But life is much more pleasant when you're living in the present So let's raise another glass and feel sublime For come the dawn our plan might fall to bits When Adolf get's his claws in it And yes, we broke the law a bit, that's right But at least until tomorrow comes Why not believe that we have won? And maybe have a little fun? Charlie, let's live it up tonight! So, just for tonight let's be winners Who finally did something right Our plan is signed, sealed, delivered And tomorrow it could all go wrong So, Charlie, let's live it up tonight! But Monty, what if the sub gets hit? Or what if they realise that our documents- "Oh what if they realise that our documents-" Oh Charlie why do all this fretting? Read the room boy, clock the setting! It's no life if you're forgetting to live I find it helps me feel prepared To what? Just dwell on being scared? I say to hell with that hot air, man And give yourself some credit where there's credit due Who made this plan? I did Yes, you! So celebrate your greatness, grab a gin! You're too full of brains a plenty For your glass to feel half empty So let's get another bottle Fill the damn thing to the brim! Just for tonight be a hero (Just for, for tonight, just for, for tonight) I'm not sure that's me Who might have beaten the Reich (Just for, for tonight, just for, for tonight) I'm just a bug boy, you see With a fantastical scheme (Just for, for tonight, just for, for tonight) So Charles But tomorrow it could tumble down Exactly Let's live it up tonight! Five degrees down, keep 180 feet Captain, this uh canister sir? You mean the weather equipment, Lieutenant? Oh aye, come on Captain Since when did we become underwater postmen? We have our orders- What was that? We've registered a depth charge sir Enemy sub incoming Change course, Captain? Captain? It's your moment, let's embrace it Victory's so close we can taste it And some sweet release is what the people need Trust me Charles, there's no point living if we cannot go down swinging Drop your bombs, we're off to dance until we bleed Excuse me, I'm meant to meet my brother here The great artiste owes me a beer He's broke, I don't know how his films get made With my comrades overseas I find that money grows on trees Just sell a secret and you'll see That loose lips will get you paid Brother, have you got something for me? Yes, this will make us rich But it's off the books Let's take a look Monty! The moment's not quite right Charlie my boy, grab each small flash of joy There's disaster ahoy But tonight Just for tonight we're the victors My plan won the war Who've come to settle the fight I've socked Adolf on the jaw! He is the man who tricked Hitler That's right Tomorrow we will know the score So everyone, let's live it up tonight! Hey! Stay the course? That's insane! Maintaining 180 feet We need to divert We can't plough into a fight for the sake of some delivery job! We don't have a choice Sir! We're under direct orders Head straight to Spain and surface Surface? What the hell is going on? Right we're the best, there's no defeating us Right our charisma and our genius Right so drink up, lets get delirious Only for tonight Tomorrow we could die, but right now We're celebrating Taking a bow So raise a glass and shout it out loud Just for tonight we are He's the strangest weather equipment I've ever seen And we're just supposed to leave him out there? Those are our instructions Do we even know his name? Ready to give the order, sir? Aye, float him out Close the main access hatch and then we'll dive Thank you for your service, son If it's down, it's down together If it's up, it's up as one So sail on, boys Through stormy weather Soon the journey will be done If it's down it's down together If it's up, it's up as one (Just for tonight) So sail on boys, through stormy weather (Just for tonight) Soon the journey will be done (I will believe that I was born to lead) Just for tonight we are heroes (If it's down, it's down together) Some were born to follow Who might have beaten the Reich (If it's up, it's up as one) But I was born to lead With a fantastical scheme (So sail on boys, through stormy weather) And so tomorrow we'll make history So let's live it up, yes! Just for tonight we're the victors (If it's down, it's down together) Some were born Burning with destiny's light I was born to lead We're braving danger and death (So sail on boys, through stormy weather) And yes tomorrow we could all be gone If a single thing goes wrong For all we know we don't have long so Fill 'em up Let's live it up tonight! Gentlemen, we have a problem! Live it up tonight!
