Stranglers - Curfew lyrics

The enemy has cut down all of 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

Grey becomes black and white

Is it true what they say

They turn the day into night

Black and white becomes

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

Grey becomes black and white

Is it true what they say

They turn the day into night

Black and white becomes

Germany failed to protect her borders

She had grown soft with the American dream

Men from the Steppes delivered their vacuum

A new kind of freedom

Freedom's a chain

Maybe I'll find love when their's nothing to do

Grey becomes black and white

Is it true what they say

They turn the day into night

Black and white becomes
