White Heat Lyrics - Mad Not Mad - Madness

Down between the sunbeams 

The money lenders chat 

Hiding in the shade 

Outside a council flat 

Kids in the lift 

Looking for things to throw 

And practising their aim 

On the heads below 

They make their apologies 

With the quickness of their feet 

Then lost in the heat haze 

That shimmers across the street 

Underfoot the pavement is melting 

Crumbling for the luckiest girl 

The whole world is melting 

(White, white heat) 

But I'm still not in 

Until a week next Wednesday 

I'm holidaying on the roof 

Till the big bad wolf goes away 

In the street the pavement is melting 

Crumbling for the luckiest girl 

The whole world is melting 

White heat 

Turns the street 

Upside down 

Down between the sunbeams 

The debt collectors chat 

Hiding in the shade 

Outside a council flat 

By the hairs on my chinny chin chin 

I shall not let you in 

In the street the pavement is melting 

Crumbling for the luckiest girl 

The whole world is melting 

For the luckiest girl 

White, white heat
