The Worlds on Fire — текст песни (housemartins)

Theres a couple sunbathing on a freshly mown lawn in england

Its 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 were 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 worlds on fire}



Theres a curtain closed early in an upstairs room in england

Theres a couple misbehabving when they shouldve been praising sunday

And theres 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 were 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 worlds on fire}



The worlds on fire!
