lyrics

NICE NICE PEOPLE
(Ian M. Bruce)

Would you walk down the streets without personal alarms!
With so many baddies with heads full of harm.
They wait round every corner
Waiting to maim or kill.
One false flick, of an eyelid and the chances are they will!

You're programmed to fear and that's what you do.
You're wary of strangers as they are of you.
It takes that low percentage of people that you have met.
To send you forth with blinkers
Making you forget.

CHORUS

That there's nice, nice people living all around.
There's friendship and help where strangers are found.
There's nice, nice people all round the world.
Let's have a flag for the nice people unfurled.

There's so many singers singing protest songs.
Singing of their rights and other people's wrongs.
One bad piece of news
Another song is on the way.
Their voices always fade if the news is okay.

With these kind of people and the T.V. today
We begin to believe that all good has decayed.
So don't you let those thugs
With their razors and their knives
Be the strangers' random sample
Throughout your lives

CHORUS

So next time you're walking down uncertain streets.
You still be wary of people you meet.
Your heart may still beat faster
when you meet that somebody new
But at this time remember, You're a stranger too

CHORUS
