"The
Russian Missile"
(instrumentaal)
"Towers
of Faith"
Ooooh,
the lonely boys
In
their towers of faith
Ooooh,
the lonely boys
Locked
in their towers of faith
The
prophet reclined
In
the Golan Heights
Ohhh,
the lonely boys
He
said "This land is my land"
To
the Shiites
Ooooh,
the lonely boys
And
Jehova looked up from the sea of Galilee beneath
He
said "I see you, you thief!
This
land is my land
And
this sand is my sand
And
this band is my band"
Oh
the lonely boys
Lookin'
over their shoulder
Checkin
out every boulder in the park
Where
the gates are closed from hate
After
dark
And
the Pope rolled up in his armored van
He
fell on his knees and kissed the land
He
said something t
hat
I did not understand
It
was in polish
Then
up stepped an aide, he said "I will translate
Here
is what His Holiness said:
'I
am the Chief Jesuit.
This
land is Jesus' land.
And
that is all
All
that there is to it.'"
And
in New York City
The
business Jim in his mohair suit
In
the world trade center
Puffs
on his cheroot
And
he said
"Well
I don't care who owns the desert sands,
My
brief
Is
with the hydrocarbons underneath"
And
the sea of battle rages around the ancient tombs
And
mother nature licks her wounds
And
the lonely boys locked in their towers of faith
Who
are nervous in the park when the gates are closed after dark
Ooooh,
the lonely boys
In
their towers of faith
Ooooh,
the lonely boys
Locked
in their towers of faith
"Hilda's
Dream"
Radio:
"Radio Four, with the news at 1 o'clock this Thursday
lunchtime.
The Prime Minister, speaking a few minutes ago in the
House
of Commons, has warned that the international situation is
deteriorating
rapidly and that war could break out at any time in
the
next
two or three days."
Jim:
"This is it! This is really it!"
Hilda:
"I shouldn't worry too much, it'll probably all blow over."
"The
American Bomber"
(instrumentaal)
"The
Anderson Shelter"
Hilda:
"It's funny to think there's no shelters this time. We had an
old
Anderson in the garden. I can see it now. We had stertians
growing
all over it, and we painted the front green. Painted it
looked
quite pretty. Next door grew cabbages on theirs.
Jim:
"Yes, we had a Morrison. I used to sleep in it. Mmmm. I stuck
pin-up
girls all over the inside. Betty Grabel, Ann Shelton, Patricia
Rock.
The roof got all smoky, 'cause I used to read in bed with a
candle."
Hilda:
"Yes, it was nice at the war, really. The shelters, the
blackouts,
cups of tea..."
Jim:
"The A.R.P., the evacuees, London kids seeing cows for the
first
time...."
Hilda:
"Old Churchill on the wires..."
Jim:
"Those were the days."
"The
British Submarine"
(instrumentaal)
"The
Attack"
Radio:
"An enemy missile attack has been launched against this
country.
It is estimated that the missiles will arrive in
approximately
three minutes."
Jim:
"God, almighty, there's only three minutes to go!"
Hilda:
"Okay, I'll just get the washing in."
Jim:
"Shut up! I'm trying to listen!"
Radio:
"Stay indoors."
Hilda:
"Oh, dear, I've left the oven on."
Jim:
"Get in! Get in! Get in!"
Hilda:
"The cake will be burned!"
"The
Fallout"
Jim:
"Blimey! I...I suppose...that was it."
Hilda:
"Wasn't it light?"
Jim:
"Yea, terrific. You--you get terrific light with those bombs.
Listen!
A dog!"
Hilda:
"What does the fallout look like, dear?"
Jim:
"Fallout? The government director neglected to mention what it
would
look like. I expect it would look a bit like snow does, only
gray.
Very quiet. I expect they're all are having a good lie-in
after
the bombing."
Hilda:
"Terrible smell of burning."
Jim:
"Well, yes. Well there's bound to be. That's logical.
.."
Hilda:
"It's like...roast meat."
Jim:
"Yes, it does. I expect everybody will be having their Sunday
dinner
a bit early this week, due to the unexpected circumstances..."
Jim:
"A cloud coming up. Looks like rain. We'll be alright for
water
now for a while, my dear."
Hilda:
"Do you think rainwater is alright to drink?"
Jim:
"Well, yes, of course it is. There's nothing purer than
rainwater,
is there? Everybody knows that."
Hilda:
"Oh, look! My hair's coming out."
"Hilda's
Hair"
Jim:
"I shall hear no evil...and thou shalt accompany me all the
days--all
the days of my life...uh...lay me down in--in--in green
pastures..I...I
don't know anymore..."
Hilda:
"That was nice, really. Lay me down in green pastures--"
Jim:
"Oooh yes, yes...enter the valley of the shadow of death
Hilda:
"no more, now...no more..."
"Folded
Flags"
Rock
a bye baby
On
the tree top
When
the wind blows
The
cradle will rock
And
babe, hate to see you fall that way
Better
spe
ak
to the palace than to be today
Hey
Joe, where you goin'
With
that gun in your hand?
You
can take your revenge
But
you'll still feel bad
There
must be more to life than lucky strikes
And
some unlucky ones
And
folded flags and pipes
And
drums
I
stood in the wings with you
Our
lives in the hands of a second-rate actor
Holding
the high ground
On
some old stage
And
babe, how do these cheated stores get so far away
Will
they catch you at the bottom
Hey
Joe, where you goin'
With
that dogma in your head?
You
can prove your point,
But
your kids will still be dead
Bring
down the curtain
The
soap opera must surely close
Before
the cold wind blows
Hey
Joe, where you goin'
with
that gun in your hand
You
can take your revenge
But
you'll still feel bad
Bring
down the curtain
The
show must close
Before
the cold wind blows
So
rock a bye baby
On
the tree top
When
the wind blows
The
cradle will rock
There
must be more to life than lucky strikes
And
some unlucky ones
And
folded flags and pipes
And
drums
