Lyrics of Burning the boats

The government have announced
That london bridge is to be closed
Under the full moon of may the third
All the lighthouses and seaside roads
No, i never, i never read in the news

Come on, tell me whos this for
Lighting the questions and
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one

Tap tap tap, birds that sing
Telephone calls that do not ring
One, two, three, whats the time?
Whos that hanging off my line?

I know that nothing last forever
And im just waiting for the sun to set
Blowing dust from my loud hailer
On the roof

Come on, tell me whos this for
Lighting the questions and
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one

The ministry of co-operation
Washed and hanging on the line
Theres a million burning questions
To set the thames alight

Now ive joined an exclusive club
Just by being more than poor
Saw the deputy chairman
On the floor

Come on, tell me whos this for
Lighting the questions and
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one

Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one
