Lyrics

Curfew

The enemy has cut down all the power London south of The Thames is invaded Westminster is raised down to the ground The Government Has Fled The Government Has Fled The Government Has Fled for Scotland today It Becomes Black And White Is It True What They Say? They Turn The Day Into Night Black And White Becomes The Government has fled into thin air What's Left Of Our Troops Has Joined The Scots To Form In defense across the North Stay In Your Homes Stay In Your Homes Be Off The Streets By Nightfall It Becomes Black And White Is It True What They Say? They Turn The Day Into Night Black And White Becomes Germany Failed To Protect All Borders Had Grown Soft With The American Dream The Men From The Steppes Delivered Their Vacuum A New Kind Of freedom Freedom's A Chain Maybe I'll Find Love When There's Nothing To Do It Becomes Black And White Is It True What They Say? They Turn The Day Into Night Black And White Becomes
