Hold your hats, it's the first day of spring
And it's blowing a hooley through the town
And if you ask me why I'm not running in

Picking up the ashes from the ground
And if they tell you the world is coming to an end
You better believe it
Blind prophets blow their bubbles
In the face of a force nine gale
Artillery take their targets down
Doom painters paint by numbers
Tale tellers are turning tail
Tin trumpets trump their turgid sound
Oh, Emergency...
