Echo & the Bunnymen

Echo & the Bunnymen are an English post-punk band, formed in Liverpool in 1978. The original line-up consisted of vocalist Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant and bass player Les Pattinson, supplemented by a drum machine.

Polly put the kettle on
I met a man
And asked of them
He told me that
The pound was strong
I knew that bridge was falling
So jimmy put the gas masks on
And swam and swam
Up to the dam
And everyone came along
Don't think we can talk 
____________ making war
Don't think we can risk it
Another heavy biscuit __________
Can i beat the count of ten
I'm lying just to stay alive
Dying in my _________ again
Taken to a dive
Trying to survive
When's it going to take you
And how's it gonna make you feel
You can't even spell it
So how you gonna tell
If it's real?
A bomb blew up my shelter
I never even felt a thing
I brushed away the dust and
Gave ole jimmy custer a ring
Don't think we can talk _______
____________ making war
Don't think we can risk it
Another heavy biscuit __________
Can i beat the count of ten
I'm lying just to stay alive
Dying in my _________ again
Taken to a dive
Trying to survive
I knew that bridge was falling
So jimmy put the gas masks on
And swam and swam
Up to the dam
And everyone came along
