I fall asleep to the national anthem
To break the spell of a winter night
For there is too much I could dream of
So turn off the TV and the lights

Because there's [bad word] round the bend
You could catch it on a tape cassette
It's no joke and it's no lie
It's salvation and [bad word] fast

On Thursday morning we will raise the world
On Friday night we will pay the price
Ford Capri and a telephone
On Saturday morning we [bad word] the world

All you need to start a bonfire
Is the story of a short and tragic life
And you could see it past the treetops
In the second hand daylight
Second hand daylight

Because there's [bad word] round the bend
You could catch it on a tape cassette
It's no joke and it's no lie
It's salvation and [bad word] fast

On Thursday morning we will raise the world
On Friday night we will pay the price
Ford Capri and a telephone
On Saturday morning we [bad word] the world

On Thursday morning we will raise the world
On Friday night we will pay the price
Ford Capri and a telephone
On Saturday morning we [bad word] the world
