PET SHOP BOYS lyrics : "Building a Wall"

Protection (prevention)
Detection (detention)
there's no where to

defect to any more [x2]

I'm building a wall

A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in [x2]


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 [x2]


I'm leaving the world
it's all wrong
Not so much what many are doing

Much more what's within us

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 Angol (?)

Caesar conquered Gaul
Scouting for Centurians
On a Roman war


Through the woods, the trees
And further on, the sea

We lived in the
shadow of the wall
Sand in the sandwiches

Wasps in the tea
It was a free country
(who do 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 [x3]
