bonfires in the streets - grace petrie 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 partic-p-te
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 comp-ssion 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 b-tch
[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
