Godley And Creme - Dont Set Fire To The One I Love Lyrics

What do I do when the house is shakin'
Where do I go when the window's breakin'
I'll sit in the garden
And watch the last birds fly

I'll take my time
'Cos I haven't a chance
I'm gonna sit right here
Till the mountains dance
I'm gonna lie in the garden
And kiss my ass goodbye

Then I'll run to a church
And pray for a miracle
For every saint and sinner in the world
There's a million ordinary people
Asking the question why?

Don't set fire to the one I love
Today

What's gonna happen
When they turn out the light
There'll be a big crowd
Up in heaven tonight
Will they bang, bang, bang
On the pearly gates
Till a voice says
Sorry, you left it too late
We're closed
I said we're closed
But the other place is open

Don't set fire to the one I love
Please don't set fire to the one I love
Today
Don't set fire to the one I love
I pray
Don't set fire to the one I love
Please don't set fire to the one I love
Today
Don't Don't set fire to the one I love
I pray
Don't set fire......to the world
Don't set fire......to the stars above
Don't set fire......to the universe
Don't set fire......to the one I love
