Suggestions and corrections are always welcome!
date: 95/10/15
A E A
A E A
A E A
Where the streets are paved with blood
A E A
With cataclysmic overtones
A E A
Fear and hate linger in the air
A E A
A strictly no-go deadly zone
B E
I don't know what I'm doing here
A E A
'Cause it's not my scene at all
A E A
There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour Street
E
They've called in the army, they've called in the police
A E A
A E A
A E A
I'm stranded on the vortex floor
A E A
My head's been kicked and blood's started to pour
A E A
Through the haze I can see my girl
A E A
15 geezers got her pinned to the door
B E
I try to reach her but fall back to the floor
A E A
There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour street
E
It's blown up the West End, now it's spreading through the city
A E A
A E A
A E A
'A' bomb in Wardour street
E
It's blown up the city, now it's spreading through the country
A E A
A E A
A E A
Law and order takes a turn for the worst
A E A
In the shape of a size 10 boot
A E A
Rape and murder throughout the land
A E A
And they tell me that you're still a free man
B E
Well if this is freedom, I don't understand
A E A
'Cause it seems like madness to me
A E A
'A' bomb in Wardour street
E
Hate bomb, hate bomb, hate bomb
A E A
A Phillistine nation
A E A
Of degredation
A E A
And hate and war
A E A
There must be more
A E A
It's Doctor Martins
A
Apocalypse!

| It's one of those Jam songs that alludes to very bad things, much like the bridge in Tubestation. Gotta love 'em for that. | |

| Wardour Street is - or used to be - the centre of the British film industry, apparently. So this song is therefore about whether life mirrors art (film, media etc) or vice versa. | |
