Red Skies over Paradise (A Brighton Dream)

My hand reached down for the radio

I held it up to my ear

The beads of sweat gathered

On my head and trickled down

Out in the park children were playing

Though it was dark, the sky glowed red

People were stunned, everyone's waiting

Nobody knew why, but they know it now

The newsman said most of London's gone

We saw the cloud rise from here

An ice cream van with it's music

On goes round and round

Out in the park children were playing

Though it was dark the sky glowed red

People were stunned, everyone's waiting

Nobody knew why, but they know it now

Down in their bunkers under the sea

Men pressing buttons don't care about me

There's lots of sand on the cellar floor

We went down there for the night

The barricades that my brother made

Keeps out the light

Out in the park children were playing

Though it was dark the sky glowed red

People were stunned, everyone's waiting

Nobody knew why, but they know it now

Down in their bunkers under the sea

Men pressing buttons don't care about me
