Hey, what with the world rapidly coming to an end, how about some good ol' Armageddeon-flavoured music?
I'll start...
XTC - This World Over
Ah well, that's this world over
Ah well, next one begins
Will you smile like any mother
As you bathe your brand new twins?
Will you sing about the missiles
As you dry odd-numbered limbs?
Ah well, that's this world over
Ah well, next one begins
Ah well, that's this world over
You sadly grin
Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land?
About their leader with the famous face?
Will you tell them that the reason nothing ever grows in the garden anymore
Because he wanted to win the craziest race?
That's this world over
Will you smile like any father
With your children on a Sunday hike?
When you get to a sea of rubble
And they ask ``What was London like?''
You tell them, ``Ah well, that's the world over''
Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land
And how a child to the Virgin came?
Will you tell them that the reason why we murdered everything upon the surface of the world
So we can stand right up and say we did it in His name?
That's this world over
Or so it seems
That's this world over
The end of dreams
That's this world over, over, over and out....The The - Armageddon Days are Here Again
They’re 5 miles high
As the crow flies
Leavin’ vapour trails
Across a blood red sky
Movin’ in from the East
Towards the West
With balaclava helmets
Over their heads
YES!
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey, you’ve got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who’s hijacked his name
He’ll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on it’s elbows and knees
It’s forgotten the message
And worships the creeds
“It’s War” she cried
“It’s War” she cried
“This is War!”
Drop your possessions
All you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches
in your underclothes
You will thank the good Lord
For raising the Union Jack
You’ll watch the ships sail out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back
Watch the ships sail out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back
If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He’d be gunned-down cold by the C.I.A.
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest
Behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows
Upon the human heart
But God didn’t build himself that throne
God doesn’t live in Israel or Rome
God doesn’t belong to the Yankee dollar
God doesn’t plant the bombs for Hezbollah
God doesn’t even go to church
And God won’t send us down to Allah to burn
God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it’s sown
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on it’s elbows and knees
It’s forgotten the message
And worships the creeds
The world is on it’s elbows and knees
It’s forgotten the message
And worships the creeds
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon Days Are HERE!!! And one more track by "The The" (Sweet Bird of Truth)
Six o'clock in the morning & I'm the last person in this plane still awake
Y'know I can almost smell the blood washing against the shores,
Of this land that can't forget its past.
Oh the wind that carries this plane, is the wind of change,
Heaven sent and hell bent!
Over the mountain tops we go, just like all the other GI Joes
Ee-ay-ee-ay----adios!
Chorus
This is your captain calling--with an urgent warning
Were above the Gulf of Arabia--our altitude is falling
And I can't hold her up--there's no time for thinking
All hands on deck--this bird is sinking
Across the beaches and cranes, rivers and trains
All the money Ive made--bodies Ive maimed.
Time was when I seemed to know,
Just like any other GI Joe
Should I cry like a baby, or die like a man
While all the planets like wars start joining hands?
Oh what a heaven--what a hell!!
Y'know theres nothing can be done in the whole wide world.
I don't know what's wrong or right,
I'm just a regular guy, with bottled-up insides,
I ain't ever been to church or believed in Jesus Christ
But I'm praying that God's with you when you die!!!And just for fun.......
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes
Reagan: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me present
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Possibly the most important thing
This side of the world."
Oh yeah, well 'ard!
Reagan: "You may pronounce us guilty a thousand times over, but the goddess of the
Eternal court of history will smile and tear to tatters the brief of the
State prosecutor and the sentence of this court, for she acquits us
Condemn me
Condemn me
Condemn me
History will absolve
Singing "this will be the day that i die"."
Yeahhhhhaaaa
(if your grandmother or any other member of your family should die whilst in the shelter,
Put them outside, but remember to tag them first for identification purposes.)
Go to war
Go to war
Go to war

Reagan: "Just think, war breaks out and nobody turns up."
Announcer: "if any member the family should die whilst in the shelter, put them outside,
But remember to tag them first for identification purposes.)
(if your grandmother or any other member of the family should die whil... ...dentification purposes.)"
Heh heh
Reagan: "It's enough to make you wonder sometimes if you're on the right planet."
Let's go
When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score
When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score
Cowboy no. 1
A born-again poor man's son
On the air, America

Giving you back the good times
Ship it out-out

When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score
