Twenty Minutes Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

I wonder what we'll be doin' and 

Where we might be 

When they hit the button and 

All hell is set free. 

Will the kids be in school? 

Will you be on your own? 

How much time will we have? 

An' will we manage to get home? 

Those in the city go first 

Then those on the outskirts 

Twenty minutes then us. 

We could make a fall-out shelter 

We got nothin' to lose 

We could make a fall-out shelter 

What else can we choose? 

When the stars come out tonight 

And the heavens are calm 

Will they make the big mistake 

And drop the bomb? 

Will the kids be asleep? 

Will you be on your own? 

How much time will we have? 

An' will I manage to get home? 

Those in the city go first 

Then those on the outskirts 

Twenty minutes is all. 

I could make a fall-out shelter 

We got nothin' to lose 

I could make a fall-out shelter 

What else can we choose? 

INSTRUMENTAL 

Those in the city go first 

Then those on the outskirts 

Twenty minutes then us. 

We could make a fall-out shelter 

We got nothin' to lose 

We could make a fall-out shelter 

What else can we choose? 

We could make a fall-out shelter 

We should make some plans 

We could make a fall-out shelter 

We might stand a chance.
