Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My hand reached down for the radio
I held it up to my ear
The beads of sweat gathered
On my head and trickled down
[Verse 2]
Out in the park, children were playing
Though it was dark, sky glowed red
People were stunned, oh, everyone waiting
Nobody knew why, why
But they know it all now
[Verse 3]
The newsman said, most of London's gone
We saw the cloud rise from here
An ice cream van with it's music on
Goes 'round and 'round
[Verse 4]
Out in the park, children were playing
Though it was dark, sky glowed red
People were stunned, everyone waiting
Nobody knew why, why
But they know it all now
[Verse 5]
Down in the bunkers, under the sea
Men pressing buttons don't care about me
Down in the bunkers, under the sea
Men pressing buttons don't care about me
[Verse 6]
There's lots of sand on the cellar floor
We went down there for the night
The barricades that my brother made
Keeps out the light
[Verse 7]
Out in the park, children were playing
Though it was dark, the sky glowed red
People were stunned, everyone waiting
Nobody knew why, why
But they know it all now
[Verse 8]
Down in the bunkers, under the sea
Men pressing buttons don't care about me
Down in the bunkers, under the sea
Men pressing buttons don't care about me
[Verse 9]
Down in the bunkers, under the sea
Men pressing buttons don't care about me
Down in the bunkers, under the sea
Men pressing buttons don't care about me
