The End Of The World

1. And to the way she wears her pearls
And how to him she's still his girl
And all that spins his world around.

Those simple hands upon those apronned hips...

She's always known what makes him laugh
And just how deep to fill his bath
And how he loves the smell of Sunday lunch.

Oh how he still inspires her teenaged blush...

They didn't notice the moon approach the back
Taking out the whole of France
Southampton got it next.
Harry and Louise turned the wireless on
And sat down for tea.

2. An apple pie cools on the hearth
And from the window watching
their arms hold on to all they know and love.

And there they stood until the sun went out...

Molten drops of everywhere
Flashed Birmingham to flames
Screaming into Yorkshire
Kindly helping us on our way
All at once she levelled all the scores
Nothing to pay!

10.000 miles of silver rock
hit the village green
Taking out the duck pond,
the cricket pitch
the washing lines
Then suddenly she reached the frail back door
of Harry and Louise.

All through our eyes girl
Every second counted girl
Then suddenly the whole commotion paused with a little respect.
