Target Acquired?

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 In my head I can hear a whistling
It’s the sound of a bomb falling
Under Lennie it was first dropped
Two relegations, it still hasn’t stopped

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Has it found its target?
Did it miss its target?
How much further to fall?
Do I want it to take us all?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 For now I’m sick of worrying
Always wondering, when it’ll be over
We’ve had a four year warning to duck and cover
Well I’ve had enough

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 I’m taking my life back to keep
I’ll not beg and I won’t borrow
It’s no use crying myself to sleep
It won’t help me through tomorrow

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 I’ll still be there and I’ll still care
But only once or twice a week
And if I can stop myself listening
Maybe I won’t hear that whistling
