Downstairs in the inn is Sergeant Neil
Peaches rounding off a perfect meal
Pie and chips and beans all from a can
Simple food that suits a simple man
As he climbs the winding wooden staircase
He stoops to tie his black and polished boot’s lace
Thinks upon the friends that he’s just made
Had a round of drinks and guess who paid
A pint of bitter, pack of fags
An evening in with all the lads
Sweet dreams my pretty Sergeant
Close your eyes and drift away
Dream of catching kids, dream of fields and cattle grids
Indeed of everything you saw, today
Howie shuts the door and draws the curtain
To make for sure, to make for certain
That there’s no ghost or body swapper
Waiting to grab this Christian copper
He leaves the light on all night long
And sings himself the Maypole song
Sweet dreams my pretty Sergeant
Close your eyes and drift away
Dream of catching kids, dream of fields and cattle grids
Indeed of everything you saw, today
As he lays his head down on the pillow
Outside in the hall he can hear Willow
Ah footsteps in the night, he’s not mistaken
Lying in the bed, how he’s shakin’
Sweet dreams my pretty Sergeant
Close your eyes and drift away
Dream of catching kids, dream of fields and cattle grids
Indeed of everything you saw, today
Sweet dreams my pretty Sergeant
Close your eyes and drift away
Dream of catching kids, dream of fields and cattle grids
Indeed of everything you saw, everything you saw, today
