The Divine Comedy - To the Rescue lyrics

So many heartbreaks so little time
Too many tragedies too many crimes
Put on your body armor prepare your alibis
Cause there is no one else
Gonna put it right

To the rescue down the streets and alleyways
Past the Chinese takeaways
Through the wind and driving rain
To the rescue
When the world won't understand
Government's got other plans
Take the law into your hands to the rescue

Got a vigilante sleeping in my bed
I looked for Marilyn
I got Che instead (Yes I did)
But I'll march behind you
Wherever you may go
And I'm more proud of you
Than you can ever know

To the rescue
Through the snow and freezing rain
Down deserted country lanes
Round the world and back again to the rescue
Taking the forgotten ones
Big and small, the old and young
When nobody else will come
You'll come to the rescue to the rescue
