Bonfires In The Streets Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ding dong, ding dong
They're singing a song
Anybody would have thought we'd won
They're talking dancing, dancing on her grave
But I can't see who among the living that will help or save
And I understand the impulse, but I can't participate
When I look around I can't see what's to celebrate

[Chorus]
And they're burning bonfires in the streets
They're making banners from bedsheets
After a lifetime of defeats
But in this, I see no victory
Just broke communities
And a country on its knees, worse off now
And on days like these all I can see
Is how very far we've still to go
How very far we've still to go

[Verse 2]
And I'm not bothered about respect
No, I'm not fussed about bad taste
But it breaks my heart to see such energy go on such a waste
And Trafalgar Square is heaving 'cause the world's one bigot less
More folks on the street tonight than marched to save the NHS

[Chorus]
And they're burning bonfires in the streets
They're making banners from bedsheets
After a lifetime of defeats
But in this, I see no victory
Just broke communities
And a country on its knees, worse off now
And on days like these all I can see
Is how very far we've still to go
How very far we've still to go

[Bridge]
And I've all the compassion for her that she had for the poor
But why claim this as a battle when she's still winning the war?
And the BBC all wring their hands to use a word like witch
And the left all cry out feminism but still use words like bitch

[Chorus]
They're burning bonfires in the streets
They're making banners from bedsheets
After a lifetime of defeats
But in this, I see no victory
Just broke communities
And a country on its knees, worse off now
And on days like these all I can see
Is how very far we've still to go
How very far we've still to go

[Outro]
Ding dong, ding dong
They're singing a song
Anybody would have thought we'd won
