Building A Wall Lyrics - Yes - Pet Shop Boys

Protection 

Prevention 

Detection 

Detention 

There's nowhere to defect to any more 

I'm building a wall 

a fine wall 

not so much to keep you out 

more to keep me in 

I'm building a wall 

a fine wall 

not so much to keep you out 

more to keep me in

Back then on a bomb-site 

we were spies among the ruins 

Such precocious barbarians 

On TV we saw 

cold war 

Protection 

Prevention 

Detection 

Detention 

There's no where to defect to any more 

I'm leaving the world 

It's all wrong 

not so much what men are doing 

much more what they're not 

I'm building a wall 

a fine wall 

not so much to keep you out 

more to keep me in 

Jesus and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 

Caesar conquered Gaul 

Scouting for centurions 

on a Roman wall 

"Through the woods, the trees 

and further on the sea 

We lived in the shadow of the war 

Sand in the sandwiches 

wasps in the tea 

It was a free country" 

"Who d'you think you are? Captain Britain?" 

I'm building a wall 

a fine wall 

not so much to keep you out 

more to keep me in 

I'm losing my head 

Well, why not? 

More work for the undertaker 

means there's less for me 

I'm building a wall 

a fine wall 

not so much to keep you out 

more to keep me in
