about

As previously mentioned, I was desperate for suitable songs and Sheldon desperately wanted to cover this song by 'Chapter One' so I reluctantly agreed. The new recording has, in my opinion made it far better than it ever was and I'm sure Mr. H would approve?

lyrics

The sun is up it's a brand new day,
people running each and every way,
don't they know this could be their last,
there ain't no future so forget your past,
it's in the papers have you heard the news?
they've pressed the button to ignite the fuse,
you've just got time to say goodbye,
on the day that tens of thousands die.

There's a fog coming over the hill side,
and who knows what it may bring?
the worlds greatest ever disaster,
destroyed nearly everything.

See the panic now they know it's true,
they've no idea what the hell to do,
someone tell them 'cos the time is near,
you've got to hide until the air is clear.
Is there a shelter in your local town?
who will be there when the sun goes down?
will they want the likes of you or me?
or just the higher class society?

Chorus

Thirty years may not seem too long,
a lot has happened since I wrote this song,
the threat of terror never goes away,
maybe tomorrow or another day,
tension mounting in the middle east,
people dying for the sake of peace,
negotiations never go too well,
are we destined for life of hell?
