PET SHOP BOYS - Building A Wall lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Protection (prevention)<br>

Detection (detention)<br>

There's no where to defect to any more<br>

<i>[x2]</i><br>

<br>

I'm building a wall<br>

A fine wall<br>

Not so much to keep you out<br>

More to keep me in<br>

<i>[x2]</i><br>

<br>

Back then on a bomb site<br>

We were spies among the ruins<br>

Such precocious barbarians<br>

On TV we saw<br>

Cold War<br>

<br>

Protection (prevention)<br>

Detection (detention)<br>

There's no where to defect to any more<br>

<i>[x2]</i><br>

<br>

I'm leaving the world<br>

It's all wrong<br>

Not so much what many are doing<br>

Much more what's within us<br>

<br>

I'm building a wall<br>

A fine wall<br>

Not so much to keep you out<br>

More to keep me in<br>

<br>

Jesus and the man from Angol (?)<br>

Caesar conquered Gaul<br>

Scouting for Centurians<br>

On a Roman war<br>

<br>

Through the woods, the trees<br>

And further on, the sea<br>

We lived in the shadow of the wall<br>

Sand in the sandwiches<br>

Wasps in the tea<br>

It was a free country<br>

(who do you think you are, Captain Britain?)<br>

<br>

I'm building a wall<br>

A fine wall<br>

Not so much to keep you out<br>

More to keep me in<br>

<br>

I'm losing my head<br>

Well, why not?<br>

More work for the undertaker<br>

Means there's less for me<br>

<br>

I'm building a wall<br>

A fine wall<br>

Not so much to keep you out<br>

More to keep me in<br>

<i>[x3]</i><br>
