Lyrics Peace In Our Time - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Peace In Our Time

Out of the aeroplane stepped chamberlain with a condemned mans stare
But we all cheered wildly, a photograph was taken,
As he waved a piece of paper in the air
Now the disco machine lives in munich and we are all friends
And I slip on my italian dancing shoes as the evening descends
And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime
And we can thank God that weve finally got
Peace in our time
Theres a man going round taking names no Matter who you claim to be As innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies,
Youre still a part of some conspiracy
Meanwhile theres a light over the ocean
Burning brighter than the sun
And a man sits alone in a bar and says «oh god,
What have we done?
«Theyre lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land
Just another tiny island invaded when hes got
The whole world in his hands
And the heavyweight champion fights in the
International propaganda star wars
Theres already one spaceman in the white
House what do you want another one for?
