Stranglers
"Curfew"

The enemy has cut down all of the power
London south of the Thames is invaded
Westminster is razed down to the ground
The government has fled
The government has fled
The government has fled for Scotland today

Grey becomes black and white
Is it true what they say
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes

The government has fled into thin air
What's left of our troops have joined with the Scots
To form a defence across of the north
Stay in your homes
Stay in your homes
Be off the streets by nightfall

Grey becomes black and white
Is it true what they say
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes

Germany failed to protect her borders
She had grown soft with the American dream
Men from the Steppes delivered their vacuum
A new kind of freedom
Freedom's a chain
Maybe I'll find love when their's nothing to do

Grey becomes black and white
Is it true what they say
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes
