Burning The Boats lyrics
by Madness
(McPherson/Foreman)The government have announcedThat London Bridge is to be closedUnder the full moon of May the thirdAll the light houses and seaside roadsNo I never heard I never read in the newsCome on tell me, who's this for ?Lighting the questions andBurning the boats one by oneBurning the boats one by one byTap, 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 lasts for everAnd I'm just waiting for the sun to setBlowing dust from my loud hailer, on the roof.Come on tell me, who's this for ?Lighting the questions andBurning the boats one by oneBurning the boats one by oneBurning the boats one by one byThe ministry of co-operationAre washed and hanging on the lineThere's a million burning questionsTo set the Thames alightNow I've joined an exclusive clubJust by being more than poorI saw the deputy chairman, on the floor.Come on tell me, who's this for ?Lighting the questions andBurning the boats one by oneBurning the boats one by oneBurning the boats one by one byBurning the boats one by oneBurning the boats.
