Nuclear War

Nuclear war If there’s a nuclear war, please let me know I’ll give the house a dust and let the parrot go If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll call my best friend And we’ll never know how Coronation Street ends If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll propose to my wife And throw a five-minute party at the end my life If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll do what I’ve been craving And drink that bottle of Brandy and stop shaving If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll speak to the neighbours I’ll bury the ax and put away the sabers If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll believe in god. I’ll ask him to forgive this reformed atheist sod If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll curse my luck They’re killing us all and don’t give a f**k So, this is it, I finally say as the sky grows dark We could have survived global warming, by building an ark.
