Burning the Boats Lyrics

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 heard, I never read in the newsCome on tell me who's this for
Lighting the questions and burning the boats
One by one burning the boats
One by one byTap tap tap birds that sing
Telephone calls that do not ring
One two three what's the time?
Who's that hanging off my line?I know that nothing last forever
And I'm just waiting for the sun to set
Blowing dust from my loud hailer
On the roofCome on tell me who's this for
Lighting the questions and burning the boats
One by one burning the boats [x2]
One by one byThe ministry of cooperation
Washed and hanging on the line

There's a million burning questions
To set the Thames alightNow I've joined an exclusive club
Just by being more than poor
Saw the deputy chairman
On the floorCome on tell me who's this for
Lighting the questions and burning the boats
One by one burning the boats [x2]
One by one by
Burning the boats
One by one burning the boats
