Xtc lyrics : "War Dance"

There's an epidemic
Stirring passions in young hearts
Even the old campaigners

Have got it really bad
Well we ain't seen nothing like it
Since coronation day

But when the street parties sound
I'm going underground
To keep the rabid hounds at bay

Oh my my -- this war dance
A patriotic romance
No we ain't seen nothing like it

Since coronation day
But when the tickatape flies
And blood is on the rise

You know it's got you in its sway
You got yourself a war dance
There's a cheap sensation

Keeping Fleet Street wide awake
Everyone wants a slice of
The jingoistic cake

And they're resurrecting Churchill
And bringing national service back
Fueling power and glory fever

Makes for a sicker Union Jack
Yes I'm talking about this war dance
A patriotic romance

And I know all you poets
Have seen it all before
About the stirring of those young hearts

Back in the first world war
Oh my my this war dance...
