  • All the people on the village green
    Are gathered 'round their TV screens
    To hear the government about to speak
    For solider boys and Jesus freaks
    They go to heaven on their holidays
    The congregation hopes and prays
    They leave their letters in the mail box
    For lonely souls they could not save

    Off and on I used hear the call
    But she was just a baby doll
    And all around them were the holy men
    Who twist the words of way back when
    She will kiss the sky and shelter all the world from the rain
    Put on a record on the jukebox
    She might dance the night away

    On and on we go and the rest of the world outside
    May soon explode and there is no place we might hide

    On and on we go and the rest of the world outside
    May soon explode and there's no place we might hide
    On and on we go and we kiss this world goodbye
    On and on and on and on

    All the people on the village green
    Are gathered 'round their TV screens
    To hear the government about to speak
    For solider boys and Jesus freaks Writer/s: NOEL GALLAGHER
