about

‘We Are Safe’ is a middle of the night description of a railway line behind the houses opposite. It's well known that twice a week a train containing nuclear waste rumbles down the railway line. What could possibly go wrong?.

lyrics

The street is lit from end to end
Twenty four hours a day.
There's soldiers standing at both ends
Just in case...

Atomic sunshine atomic rain
They say there is no waste at all.
But late at night I've heard the trains
Sneak by behind a wall.
And they say
'We are safe we are defended.'
How does it feel to be so secure?
'We are safe we are defended.'
These days you can never be too sure.

From time to time the searchlights shine
Right into the room.
And barbed-wire shadows hang like lines
Of music across the room.
And they say
'We are safe we are defended.'
How does it feel to be so secure?
'We are safe we are defended.'
These days you can never be too sure.

The street is lit from end to end
Twenty four hours a day.
But now the darkness never ends
It just looks like the day
And they say
'We are safe we are defended.'
How does it feel to be so secure?
'We are safe we are defended.'
These days you can never be too sure.

'We are safe we are defended.'
How does it feel to be so secure?
'We are safe we are defended.'
But these days...
I don't really feel so sure.
