The World’s On Fire - The Housemartins

The World's On Fire - The Housemartins
There's a couple sunbathing on a freshly mown lawn in england
It's a house with a view and all
You see is green and blue for miles
The local vicar has pretended that
The church is well attended this morning
As he wanders without purpose to
The sunday service he smiles
Oh ho what a beautiful morning
Oh ho what a beautiful day
Oh ho what a sickening feeling
It took this long to make it
Now we're throwing it away
Now i was told not to play with fire
I said look out church the flames grow higher
I said watch those flames lick that spire
I said look our church the falmes grow higher
The world's on fire
There's a curtain closed early in an upstairs room in england
There's a couple misbehaving when
They should've been praising sunday
And there's a bounce in a walk and
The neighbors stop to talk for hours
And when eyebrows are raised at
The next song of praise come monday
Oh ho what a beautiful morning
Oh ho what a beautiful day
Oh ho what a sickening feeling
It took this long to make it now we're throwing it away
Now i was told not to play with fire
I said look out church the flames grow higher
I said watch those flames lick that spire
I said look our church the flames grow higher
The world's on fire
Oh ho what a beautiful morning
Oh ho what a beautiful day
Oh ho what a sickening feeling
It took this long to make it now we're throwing it away
Now i was told not to play with fire
I said look out church the flames grow higher
I said watch those flames lick that spire
I said look our church the flames grow higher
The world's on fire
Now i was told not to play with fire
I said look out church the flames grow higher
The world's on fire
The world's on fire
The world's on fire
