They said protect and you�ll survive-
(but our postman didn�t call)
8 lbs. of over-pressure wave seemed to glue him to the wall
They said protect and you�ll survive�
E.M.P. took out the radio-
(and our milk-man didn�t call)
Flash blinded by the pretty lights,
Didn�t see his bottles fall
Or feel the warm black rain arrive�Am-G
Repeat Intro � Em-Dm-Bb-F-A (2
measures)
(and our dust-men haven�t called)
They left a dual carriageway at a hundred miles an hour-
A tail wind chasing them away

BREAK-
And in deep shelters lurk below, sub- regional control
Who sympathise but cannot help

And so I watch two new suns spin-

Burnt shadow printed on the road-
Now there�s nothing there at all
They said PROTECT AND YOU�LL
SURVIVE������.
