My hand reached down for the radio   I held it up to my ear   The beads of sweat gathered   On my head and trickled down      Out in the park children were playing   Though it was dark, the sky glowed red   People were stunned, everyone's waiting   Nobody knew why, but they know it now      The newsman said most of London's gone   We saw the cloud rise from here   An ice cream van with it's music   On goes round and round      Out in the park children were playing   Though it was dark the sky glowed red   People were stunned, everyone's waiting   Nobody knew why, but they know it now      Down in their bunkers under the sea   Men pressing buttons don't care about me      There's lots of sand on the cellar floor   We went down there for the night   The barricades that my brother made   Keeps out the light      Out in the park children were playing   Though it was dark the sky glowed red   People were stunned, everyone's waiting   Nobody knew why, but they know it now      Down in their bunkers under the sea   Men pressing buttons don't care about me
