What's the ugliest part of your body?. What's the ugliest part of your body?. Some say your nose, some say your toes. But I think it's your mind, your mind, your mind.
(The truth is, I thought it mattered). (I thought that music mattered.). (But does it? Pollocks! Not compared to how people matter). (We'll be singing, when we're winning, we'll be singing).
Words on a postcard from far away. Spoke of a time long ago. Laughed ourselves daft on that Saturday. Singing here we go. . I'm a taxi driver, I'm a postal worker.
Tony. You said that you'd be true. I believed you like a fool. I should have seen it in your eyes. Tony. You promised me the world. But I'm not that kind of girl.
And now, The Reverend Abraham Meekly. Saver of souls. . Though they broke my legs. They gave me a crutch to walk. Though they broke my legs. They gave me a crutch to walk.
It gets worse... the earth, if looked after properly, has an estimated lifespan of another four billion years, but in 1983 there were two false alarms of impending nuclear war every three days. They say that such alarms are normal, and present no problem provided they can be identified as false alarms. I said in 1983 there were two false alarms of impending nuclear war, every three days, but in times of crisis with weapons systems already on the alert, there is less than eight minutes to decide whether an attack is underway or not. And there are over forty conventional wars going on in the world today. Times of crisis, you might say. They say that waiting longer than eight minutes would risk a surprise attack, and a loss of command and control. In the trade this is called the "use them or lose them" problem, which translated means, if he's gonna hit you, make sure you hit him first. Looking at it another way, a single American strategic submarine carries about 160 warheads, enough to eliminate every Soviet city of over 200,000 people. Of course a Soviet submarine could do the same to America. The nuclear weapons powers operate about a hundred such submaries and on average there are over forty at sea at any one time. A conspiracy of two men, a submarine commander and his radioman, could pretend to have received orders from above, and launch a nuclear missile without actually having received those orders. In 1983 there were two false alarms of impending nuclear war every three days. In 1983 Thatcher was re-elected by her sleeping people. In 1984 Reagan was re-elected by his sleeping people. In 1985....
Stop now, what's that sound?. Everybody look what's going down. Stop now, what's that sound?. Wow. . I am a timebomb. A ticking ticking, ticking timebomb.
Stop now. What's that sound. Everybody looks. What's going down. . I am a timebomb. A ticking ticking ticking timebomb. Unattended on the railway station.
Heads bowed, eyes down, here comes the enemy. To hail the people's victory! Which people? What victory?. It's the People's Army that murdered the people.
One, two, three years later. Complacency sets in. He patiently sits in. Watching the telly. Thursday to Thursday. Radio turnsday (?). Can't do nothing if you haven't got money.
Raw materials are running out, there'll be no more tungsten to put in light bulbs. Because the light bulb companies used it up, making light bulbs which run out.
Roll up, roll up. The greatest show on earth. Animals, clowns, freaks, misfits, contortionists. Fun for all the family. Currently residing in the 'where are they now' file.
This girl, she didn't turn out quite the way she was supposed to do. This girl, she got bored of all the things they brought her up to say. She never meant them anyway.
I'm Judas Judy, panicking, got everything and nothing. Happy birthday mister president I'm here to call your bluff. From the top of the world I'm gonna jump, jump, jump.
Said the party to the ad-man. We'll conjure up a gimmick. The way to lead an ass. Is with a carrot and a stick. . Dig down for minorities. Promise them concessions.
No more chant your old rhymes about old Robin Hood. His feats I do little admire. I'll sing the achievements of General Ludd. Now the hero of Nottingham Shire.
The tree of knowledge has been cut down. Torn from the ground, made into defenses and paper money. His own roots man severs. Mother Earth dismembered.
What would be better than a real-life disaster movie? With all the Hollywood-style news coverage and on-the-spot interviews with survivors as they discoved the loss of their loved ones..
