Burning The Boats Lyrics - Mad Not Mad - Madness

The Government have announced 

That London Bridge is to be closed 

Under the full moon of May the third 

All the lighthouses and seaside roads 

No, I never heard, I never read in the news 

Come on tell me who's this for 

Lighting the questions and burning the boats 

One by one burning the boats 

One by one by 

Tap tap tap birds that sing 

Telephone calls that do not ring 

One two three what's the time? 

Who's that hanging off my line? 

I know that nothing last forever 

And I'm just waiting for the sun to set 

Blowing dust from my loud hailer 

On the roof 

Come on tell me who's this for 

Lighting the questions and burning the boats 

One by one burning the boats [x2] 

One by one by 

The ministry of cooperation 

Washed and hanging on the line 

There's a million burning questions 

To set the Thames alight 

Now I've joined an exclusive club 

Just by being more than poor 

Saw the deputy chairman 

On the floor 

Come on tell me who's this for 

Lighting the questions and burning the boats 

One by one burning the boats [x2] 

One by one by 

Burning the boats 

One by one burning the boats
