The World's On Fire
(专辑: The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death - 1987)
There's a
couple sunbathing on a
freshly mown lawn in England It's a
house with a
view and all you see is green and blue for miles The
local vicar has pretended that the
church is well attended this morning As he wanders without purpose to the
Sunday service he smiles Oh-ho! What a
beautiful morning Oh-ho! What a
beautiful day Oh-ho! What a
sickening feeling It took this long to make it, now we're throwing it away Now, I
was told not to play with fire I
said, look out church the
flames grow higher I
said, watch those flames lick that spire I
said, look our church the
falmes grow higher (The world's on fire) There's a
curtain closed early in an upstairs room in England There's a
couple misbehaving when they should've been praising Sunday And there's a
bounce in a
walk and the
neighbours stop to talk for hours And when eyebrows are raised at the
next song of praise come Monday Oh-ho! What a
beautiful morning Oh-ho! What a
beautiful day Oh-ho! What a
sickening feeling It took this long to make it, now we're throwing it away Now, I
was told not to play with fire I
said, look out church the
flames grow higher I
said, watch those flames lick that spire I
said, look our church the
falmes grow higher (The world's on fire) The
world's on fire!
