Villa Albani
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] Sweet deal is going down in the Villa Albani The deal's being discussed behind closed doors The ink isn't dried on the paper, the conference is better begun Handshakes have been rung at the Villa Albani [Chorus] And the tom goes tom and the tom goes tom-tom And the gun goes gun and the gun goes gun-gun And the bomb goes bomb and the bomb goes bomb-bomb [Verse 2] Winter's closing in around the Villa Albani Sitting 'round the fire, getting cold feet With holy people coming for breakfast at midnight Blood is in the streets, rumours all over town about the Villa Albani [Chorus] And the tom goes tom and the tom goes tom-tom And the gun goes gun and the gun goes gun-gun And the bomb goes bomb and the bomb goes bomb-bomb [Bridge 1] And they're rolling out of debt Oh, they're rolling up the piers Rolling up in the [?] You're only feeding the horse of the Villa Albani [Verse 3] Limousines coming and going, helicopters are taking off People are leaving out the front door, people are leaving out the back Nobody's answering the phone, nobody's picking up the mail Nobody's getting the door bell, this is a house of failure Sweet deal is breaking down at the Villa Albani [Chorus] And the tom goes tom and the tom goes tom-tom And the gun goes gun and the gun goes gun-gun And the bomb goes bomb and the bomb goes bomb-bomb [Bridge 2] Happy in the darkest day, happy in the coldest night When people look out the window to see What did they see at the Villa Albani? [Verse 4] Rolling up the shutters, they're carrying out the files To the fire in the backyard, they're burning all the books They're asking questions in town and they are going home for good They are going home to care for some limousines and tanks
