lyrics

Vladamir met the President
They were all smiles and handshakes on the net
Who’d have hoped our day was done?
I guess I’m the only one

They set their terms upon the table
So impressed, the press were with the feast
But just a nudge and it fell apart
Oh, be filled my empty heart

'Cos there’s nothing like the sound of a treaty run aground
And the sirens trump- a joy and my relief
Now the dread of losing you will vanish like the dew
From the sear of twenty suns that rise this fateful day
So comforted in knowing the bombs are on their way

That shooting star, like Newton’s apple
It obeys the law, blind to regret
How could it know that it was named?
No, the poor stone shouldn’t be blamed

'Cos there’s nothing like the sound as when the heavens hit the ground
Let my broken wishes tumble back to me
Now the dread of losing you will vanish like the dew
From the sear of twenty suns that rise this fateful day
So comforted in knowing the bombs are on their way

Why can’t they last as long as we do?
I can't bear to think what little’s left...

So while people pray their psalms of peace
I’ll be right here, not holding my breath
It’s better that the world should end than let go my only friend

'Cos there’s nothing like the sound as when the heavens hit the ground
Let my broken wishes tumble back to me
Now the dread of losing you will vanish like the dew
From the sear of twenty suns that rise this fateful day
So comforted in knowing
So comforted in knowing
So comforted in knowing that the bombs are on their way
