Blood On The Rooftops (live In Birmingham 2017) Lyrics - Steve Hackett

Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play 

We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day 

Won't you stay? 

Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you're still dry 

The outlook's fine though Wales might have some rain 

Saved again. 

Let's skip the news boy (I'll make some tea) 

The Arabs and the Jews boy (too much for me) 

They get me confused boy (puts me off to sleep) 

And the thing I hate - Oh Lord! 

Is staying up late, to watch some debate, on some nation's fate.

Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan, still surprised! 

You've won the West in time to be our guest 

Name your prize! 

Drop of wine, a glass of beer dear what's the time? 

The grime on the Tyne is mine all mine all mine 

Five past nine. 

Blood on the rooftops - Venice in the Spring 

Streets of San Francisco - a word from Peking 

The trouble was started - by a young Errol Flynn 

Better in my day - Oh Lord! 

For when we got bored, we'd have a world war, happy but poor 

Photos 

So let's skip the news boy (I'll go make that tea) 

Blood on the rooftops (too much for me) 

When old Mother Goose stops - they're out for 23 

Then the rain at Lords stopped play 

Seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again.
