lyrics

PRINCE OF THE PYLONS
(Ian M. Bruce)

Chant
Bønna's gonna ride on your behalf the high wire
Bønna's gonna ride his skybike with its wheels of fi-re.
repeat

Blind panic reigns throughout this town.
I can see no light for miles around.
Dark brings fear when the power goes down.
Senses heightened to every sound.
Around each corner an enemy!
I can feel them creeping up on me!
This is not where I want to be!
Emergency! Emergency!

Chorus
Call out the Prince of the Pylons
In driving snow or the dead of the ]night.
Call out our high-viz hero
He got the pow-e-er
To make it alright.

Chant.....

Verse 2
So much missing when the power is gone.
Flick my switch and it won't come on.
My turntable won't go round.
All my speakers make no sound.
No remote control for this or that.
Can't charge my phone when the battery's flat.
Shiver shiver. Freezing feet!
Central heating gives no heat!

Chorus...

Chant....
