Correction Lyrics Bonfires In The Streets by Grace Petrie

Lyrics

Ding dong, ding dong
They're singing a song
Anybody would have thought we'd won
They're talking dancing, dancing on her grave
But I can't see who among the living that will help or save
And I understand the impulse, but I can't participate
When I look around I can't see what's to celebrate

And they're burning bonfires in the streets
They're making banners from bedsheets
After a lifetime of defeats
But in this, I see no victory
Just broke communities
And a country on its knees, worse off now
And on days like these all I can see
Is how very far we've still to go
How very far we've still to go

And I'm not bothered about respect
No, I'm not fussed about bad taste
But it breaks my heart to see such energy go on such a waste
And Trafalgar Square is heaving 'cause the world's one bigot less
More folks on the street tonight than marched to save the NHS
And they're burning bonfires in the streets
They're making banners from bedsheets
After a lifetime of defeats
But in this, I see no victory
Just broke communities
And a country on its knees, worse off now
And on days like these all I can see
Is how very far we've still to go
How very far we've still to go

And I've all the compa**ion for her that she had for the poor
But why claim this as a battle when she's still winning the war?
And the BBC all wring their hands to use a word like witch
And the left all cry out feminism but still use words like b*t*h

They're burning bonfires in the streets
They're making banners from bedsheets
After a lifetime of defeats
But in this, I see no victory
Just broke communities
And a country on its knees, worse off now
And on days like these all I can see
Is how very far we've still to go
How very far we've still to go
Ding dong, ding dong
They're singing a song
Anybody would have thought we'd won
