(Announced plans to build a nuclear fallout shelter)
(At Peterborough in Cambridgeshire)
(Three high court judges have cleared the way)
(It was announced today that the replacement for the Atlantic Conveyor)
(The container ship lost in the Falklands conflict)
(Would be built in Japan)
(A spokesman for)
(Moving in, they say the Third World countries)
(Like Bolivia, which produces the drug)
(Are suffering from rising violence)
Tell me true
Tell me, why was Jesus crucified?
Was it for this that Daddy died?
Was it for you? Was it me?
Did I watch too much TV?
Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?
If it wasn't for the Nips
Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the Clyde
And it can't be much fun for them
Beneath the rising Sun
With all their kids committing suicide
What have we done?
Maggie, what have we done?
What have we done
To England?
Should we shout? Should we scream?
What happened to the post-war dream?
Oh, Maggie
Maggie, what did we do?
