The Post War Dream

Announced plans to build a nuclear
Fallout shelter at Peterborough in Cambridge
Three high court judges have cleared the way
It was announced today, that the replacement for the Atlantic Conveyor
The container ship lost in the falklands conflict would be built in Japan
A spokesman for moving in
They say the third world countries, like Bolivia
Which produce the drug are suffering from rising violence

Tell me true, tell me why, was Jesus crucified?
Was it for this that Daddy died?
Was it for you, was it me?
Did I watch too much TV?
Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?

If it wasn't for the Nips
Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the clyde
And that can't be much fun for them
Beneath the rising sun
With all their kids committing suicide

What have we done?
Maggie what have we done?
What have we done to England?
Should we shout, should we scream
What happened to the post war dream?
Oh Maggie, Maggie what did we do?
