Peter Hammill - Porton Down Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Won't hear a sound at Porton Down,
  • the clear liquids keep their silence,
  • buried underground at Porton Down
  • the fast form of the final violence.
  • Quite right to be worried about the proliferation
  • of nuclear bombs and power stations,
  • but there's a deterrent that's going to
  • unearth us yet...
  • Hurry on round about Porton Down,
  • a quick glimpse of the future warfare
  • hidden under ground at Porton Down;
  • far too frightening to utter what you saw there.
  • They got bacteria to drop us where we stand,
  • they got diseases still unknown to man,
  • they got the virus and a microgram's enough
  • to do in a continent.
  • The ultimate madness,
  • just one shattered test-tube to wipe out the world.
  • It begins with the mustard gas,
  • it proceeds to Hiroshima.
  • The culture moves on -
  • now it's bacterial, truly insane.
  • Porton Down waits to fever the brain.
  • Won't hear a sound at Porton Down,
  • the clear liquids keep their silence
  • buried underground at Porton Down,
  • the fast form of the final violence.
  • Hurry on round about Porton Down
  • a quick glimpse of the future warfare,
  • hidden underground at Porton Down,
  • far too frightening to say what you saw there.
  • No sound at Porton Down,
  • from Porton Down,
  • after Porton Down
