Genesis - Blood on the Rooftops lyrics

[Genesis - Blood on the Rooftops lyrics]

Dark and grey, an English film
The Wednesday Play
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
Won't you stay?

Though your eyes see shipwrecked
Sailors you're still dry
The outlook's fine though Wales
Might have some rain saved again

Let's skip the news boy
(I'll go and make some tea)
Arabs and Jews boy (too much for me)
They get me confused boy
(puts me off to sleep)
And the thing I hate -Oh Lord!
Is staying up late, to watch some debate
On some nation's fate

Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan
Still surprised!
You've won the West in time to be our guest
Name your prize!

Drop of wine
A glass of beer dear what's the time?
The grime on the Tyne is
Mine all mine all mine five past nine

Blood on the rooftops -Venice in the Spring
The Streets of San Francisco
-a word from Peking
The trouble was started -by
A young Errol Flynn
Better in my day -Oh Lord!
For when we got bored, we'd have a world war
Happy but poor so let's skip the news boy
(I'll go and make some tea)
Blood on the rooftops (too much for me)
When old Mother Goose stops -and
They're out for 23
Then the rain at Lords stopped play
Seems Helen of Troy has found
A new face again
