This World Over Lyrics - The Big Express - Xtc

Oh well, that's this world over 

Oh well, next one begins 

Will you smile like any mother 

As you bathe your brand new twins? 

Will you sing about the missiles 

As you dry off numbered limbs? 

Oh well, that's this world over 

Oh well, next one begins 

Oh well, that's this world over 

You sadly grin 

Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land 

About their leader with the famous face? 

Will you tell them that the reason nothing ever grows 

In the garden anymore 

Because he wanted to win the craziest race 

That's this world over 

Will you smile like any father 

With your children on a Sunday hike? 

When you get to a sea of rubble 

And they ask 'What was London like?' 

Oh well, that's this world over 

Oh well, next one begins, it begins, it begins 

Oh well, that's this world over 

You sadly grin 

Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land 

And how a child to the virgin came? Whoa 

Will you tell them that the reason why we murdered 

Everything upon the surface of the world 

So we can stand right up and say we did it in his name? 

That's this world over 

Or so it seems 

But that's this world over 

The end of dreams 

That's this world over, over, over and out 

That's this world over, over, over and out
