Leon Rosselson - Stand Firm

To Rate
Verse 1
Don't just cower like a shower
When the clouds begin to loom
Stand firm stand firm

Verse 2
You will have a good four minutes to prepare your refuge room
Stand firm stand firm
For our early warning system will be broadcasting the news
So don't sprawl around Trafalgar Square or lounge about the Loose
And switch off all electric fires as not to blow a fuse
And stand firm stand firm

Verse 3
You will leave your bingo seasions
Push aside your plates of chips
And stand firm stand firm
Jut your chins out, pull your socks up, and button up your shirt
And stand firm stand firm

Verse 4
Once you've turned off all your tellies
And abandoned all your beers
Consult your local warden who will help allay your fears
To deaden the еxplosion put yout fingers in your ears
And stand firm stand firm
Verse 5
Now a slip trench will protеct you from the fallout and the blast
Stand firm stand firm
And don't emerge from hiding while the radiation lasts
Stand firm stand firm

Verse 6
To prove to the opressor that free men will be free
Crouch down in your hidey holes make lots and lots tea
If your caught out in the open duck behined a tree
And stand firm stand firm

Verse 7
So dont just huddle in the rubble
When the bombs begin to burst
Stand firm stand firm
There will be no need to panic if the worst comes to the worst
Stand firm stand firm

Verse 8
You can make your contribution if you only keep your head
Try sweeping up the fallout, decontaminate the bread
Whether rescuing survivors or burying the dead
Stand firm stand firm
Stand firm stand firm
