Bombs Away lyrics

The Queen is marching back to Paris tonight

The priests are praying and preparing the rites

Another animal gets drowned in the Seine

Enemies, enemies will never be friends

The city's artifacts are thrown into bags

The safe's been blown apart, the river's been dragged

Another diver's got a case of the bends

Enemies, enemies will never be friends

Bombs away

It's a pain but not a shock

Bombs away

Let that old Gomorrah rock

Bombs away

Let the fires light the road

Bombs away

The metropolis explodes

The Queen is marching back to London tonight

The new regime is hunkered down for a fight

Another animal gets drowned in the Thames

Enemies, enemies will never be friends

The city's quiet and awaiting the Blitz

A candle's lit where old Victoria sits

Babylon's burning and a dynasty ends

Enemies, enemies will never be friends

Bombs away

It's a pain but not a shock

Bombs away

Let that old Gomorrah rock

Bombs away

Let the fires light the road

Bombs away

The metropolis explodes

The Queen is marching back to Paris tonight

The priests are praying and preparing the rites

I saw reflections of this world in the Seine

I saw the Amazon, the Rhine and the Thames

The times I tried to get away from it all

Just left me standing with my back to the wall

Another strategy regarding my heart

All these explosions are a shot in the dark

Bombs away

It's a pain but not a shock

Bombs away

Let that old Gomorrah rock

Bombs away

Let the fires light the road

Bombs away

The metropolis explodes

Bombs away

It's a pain but not a shock

Bombs away

Let that old Gomorrah rock

Bombs away

Let the fires light the road

Bombs away

The metropolis explodes
