The Stranglers - Curfew Lyrics

The enemy has cut down all the power
London south of the Thames is invaded
Westminster is razed down to the ground

The government has fled
The government has fled
The government has fled to Scotland today

Gray becomes black and white
Is it true what they say?
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes

The government has fled into thin air
What's left of our troops has joined with the Scots
To form in defence across of the north

Stay in your homes
Stay in your homes
Be off the streets by nightfall

Gray becomes black and white
Is it true what they say?
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes

Germany failed to protect her borders
She had grown soft with the American dream
The men from the Steppes delivered their vacuum

A new kind of freedom
Freedom's a chain
Maybe I'll find love when there's nothing to do

Grey becomes black and white
Is it true what they say?
They turn the day into night
Black and white becomes
