The World's On Fire |
There’s a couple sunbathing on a freshly mown lawn in England |
It’s a house with a view and all you see is green and blue for miles |
The local vicar has pretended that the church is well attended this morning |
As he wanders without purpose to the Sunday service he smiles |
Oh-ho! |
What a beautiful morning |
Oh-ho! |
What a beautiful day |
Oh-ho! |
What a sickening feeling |
It took this long to make it, now we’re throwing it away |
Now, I was told not to play with fire |
I said, look out church the flames grow higher |
I said, watch those flames lick that spire |
I said, look our church the falmes grow higher |
(The world’s on fire) |
There’s a curtain closed early in an upstairs room in England |
There’s a couple misbehaving when they should’ve been praising Sunday |
And there’s a bounce in a walk and the neighbours stop to talk for hours |
And when eyebrows are raised at the next song of praise come Monday |
Oh-ho! |
What a beautiful morning |
Oh-ho! |
What a beautiful day |
Oh-ho! |
What a sickening feeling |
It took this long to make it, now we’re throwing it away |
Now, I was told not to play with fire |
I said, look out church the flames grow higher |
I said, watch those flames lick that spire |
I said, look our church the falmes grow higher |
(The world’s on fire) |
The world’s on fire! |
