Peace In Our Time Lyrics - Goodbye Cruel World - Elvis Costello

Out of the aeroplane stepped Chamberlain with a condemned man's stare 

But we all cheered wildly, a photograph was taken, 

as he waved a piece of paper in the air 

Now the Disco Machine lives in Munich and we are all friends 

And I slip on my Italian dancing shoes as the evening descends

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime 

And we can thank God that we've finally got 

peace in our time 

There's a man going round taking names no 

matter who you claim to be 

As innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies, 

you're still a part of some conspiracy 

Meanwhile there's a light over the ocean 

burning brighter than the sun 

And a man sits alone in a bar and says "Oh God, 

what have we done?" 

Chorus 

Photos 

They're lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land 

Just another tiny island invaded when he's got 

the whole world in his hands 

And the Heavyweight Champion fights in the 

International Propaganda Star Wars 

There's already one spaceman in the White 

House what do you want another one for? 

Chorus
