intro (picked):
(7/4 time)
The enemy has cut down all the power
London south of the Thames is invaded
Westminster is razed down to the ground
The government has fled
The government has fled
The government has fled for Scotland today
(4/4 time)
It becomes black and white
Is it true what they say?
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes
G E5 F5 D5 (x2, with riff)
(7/4 time)
The government has fled into thin air
What's left of our troops have joined with the Scots
To form a defence across of the north
Stay in your homes
Stay in your homes
Be off the streets by nightfall
(4/4 time)
It becomes black and white
Is it true what they say?
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes
G E5 F5 D5 (x2, with riff)
(7/4 time)

(7/4 time)
Germany failed to protect her borders
She had grown soft with the American dream
The men from the Steppes delivered their vaccum
A new kind of freedom
Freedom's a chain
Maybe I'll find love when there's nothing to do
(4/4 time)
It becomes black and white
Is it true what they say?
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes
G E5 F5 D5 (x3, with riff)
(7/4 time)
