Still hunting for the lyrics TR but here's a starter:

Territorial Army

That was it, and I joined the Territorial Army, to make myself a bit more exotic. I did, I did. It was the parachute regiment, and I got my red baret, and I looked like acne. Had my uniform, and I got my wings and everything. We did an execise once, it was a complete and utter waste of time, as the entire Territorial Army is. We did an exercise... it's a dreadful waste of time and money. I swear, I mean we did an exercise on Cyprus. All us paratroopers and the Kyrenia Mountains - with my gun. And we chased.. the parachute regiment chased the Green Howards through the mountains for ten days. And we caught one. There were thousands of us, armed to the teeth, bajonets down our trousers, and it was great and I was posing. Everybody looked like Rambo. And we caught this poor bastard, and he worked in the same shipyard as me. He was a Territorial, too. It was great, I could have sneaked up behind him in the cantine and saved the country a fortune.
