Bombers - 2000 Remastered Version
All clear wail the sirens Sunshine on the waste land Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes
Seemed a good idea To drop a bomb on the waste land, yeah Only one man could be seen And he was old and so serene
Captain sat in his deck chair And the red light flashed 'Beware' Pilot felt quite big time As the bomb sailed through the air
Well, they danced and sang When the bang went bang When the lights popped out And the smoke began to clear It was positively queer
All clear wail the sirens Sunshine on the waste land Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes
'Die', said the general 'Cobblers', said the man So the Pentagon sent a cable Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And the Queen a telegram
A bombs, H bombs, even very small ones Ripped apart that sand 'Til the stench was just revolting And the sky a greenish tan
But the soldier said 'Sir There's a crack in the world' And the figures went 'Squash' And the bits flew far and wide How the universe sighed
All clear wail the sirens Sunshine on the waste land Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes
All clear wail the sirens Sunshine on the waste land Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between our eyes
When the smoke had blown away There was nothing left in view Except a man, dear Lord, who looks like You Floating high, up in the sky
