Lyrics

The arrows streak down through the clouds
Red as blood or Beaujolais
Weaving smoke to thrill the crowds
And how they hope it doesn't rain today
Cause we paid a price to see them
Nobody admits
But the hungry child just spits
In the acceptable face of genocide
Through fenland fog the runway lights
Guide a tired Vulcan home to rest
To recall its youthful Cold War flights
In a dodo's corrugated nest
Just another dusty number
In an MOD archive
Why did it ever fly
It was the futile face of genocide
Between the high street stores in town
Recruiting centre's vulture hands
The call-up Cyprus veteran found
A youthful drummer for his band
He doesn't press them anymore
They're unemployed and willing
To take the tarnished shilling
Out on the shopping streets of genocide
We paid a price to see them
Nobody admits
The hungry child just spits
In the acceptable face of genocide
