Burning The Boats (Remastered 1999)

The government have announced

That London Bridge is to be closed

Under the full moon of May the third

All the light houses 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 lasts for ever

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 one by one

Burning the boats one by one by

The ministry of co operation

Are 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

I 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 one by one

Burning the boats one by one by

Burning the boats one by one

Burning the boats
