Blood On The Rooftops

P.Collins / S.Hackett

Dark and grey an English film, the Wednesday Play
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
Won`t you stay?

Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you`re still dry
The outlook`s fine though Wales might have some rain
Saved again.

Let`s skip the news boy (I`ll make some tea)
Arabs and Jews boy (too much for me)
They get me confused boy (puts me off to sleep)
And the thing I hate Oh Lord!
Is staying up late, to watch some debate, on some nation`s fate.

Hypnotised by Batman. Tarzan, still surprised!
You`ve won the West in time to be our guest Name your prize!

Drop of wine, a glass of beer dear what`s the time?
The grime on the Tyne is mine all mine all mine
Five past nine.

Blood on the rooftops - Venice in the Spring
The Streets of San Francisco - a word from Peking
The trouble was started by a young Errol Flynn
Better in my day - Oh Lord!
For when the got bored, we`d have a world war, happy but poor
So let`s skip the news boy (I`ll go and make that tea)
Blood on the rooftops (too much for me)
When old Mother Goose stops - and they`re out for 23
Then the rain at Lord`s stopped play
Seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again.
