Echoes Of Fear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Burning houses, some distant screams of pain
Burning people, painful and cruelly slain
I'm dashing to my chair
I have a few fried beans
Some scrambled eggs
Some bread or toast
While I watch far-off people roast
It's in the Morning-News
I'm trying to find my shoes
An airplane crashed
Explosion flashed
I have to carry out the trash!
[Chorus:]
Echoes of a distant battle!
Echoes of fear!
Echoes of a distant battle!
Still another beer?
Echoes of a distant battle!
Echoes!
Echoes of a distant battle!
Have another beer!
I'm on my way to work
I watch some well-dressed clerk
Being robbed by some
Unscrupulous bum
But as I'm late I hurry on
At noon I'm out to lunch
But as a silly bunch
Of Punks beats up
A nice old chap
I got to hurry for my cab
[Chorus:]
Echoes of a distant battle!
Echoes of fear!
Echoes of a distant battle!
Still another beer?
Echoes of a distant battle!
Echoes!
Echoes of a distant battle!
Have another beer!
Burning houses, some distant screams of pain
Burning people, painful and cruelly slain
I cuddle to my couch
I nibble some more chips
The TV shows
Some other's woes
But that's the way that this world goes!
And so I went to bed
I had one final fag
The fire-brigade
Was much too late
The neighbourhood would hesitate
[Chorus:]
Echoes of a distant battle!
Echoes of fear!
Echoes of a distant battle!
Still another beer?
Echoes of a distant battle!
Echoes!
Echoes of a distant battle!
Have another beer!
