Adapt Lyrics - Wire

The tide is high, sandbag your street! 

Converging, swelling channels meet 

The torrent roars, banks are breached 

Stay calm, be cool, a part at least 

The brakes are on, controlled retreat 

Quick-go-slowly, heart valve weak 

Fairness flounders, sincere cheats 

Disgraced champions, taste defeat 

Beware the timely statement leak... 

The trigger is the price of meat 

Barricade your first floor doors 

Evacuate your sick and poor 

Be larger picture, stronger, deep 

Be good, be bad, be more, elite... 

A prince of bread, a pint of peace 

In Middle Earth, in Middle East
