Blackout Lyrics by Miss Emily Brown

In Technicolor

2010

Rope tie a rope from the barn to the farmhouse
Follow that rope through the blinding snow
Rope tie a rope leave the bread by the road
Or the dark dark stranger will be knocking at the door
Rope tie a rope from the F to the C#
D# G# - rope tie a rope
Rope tie a rope from the silent picture
To the organ player who is sitting in the dark
Blackout, dust-bowl, miles of nothing
Brand new theatre, armoury, parlour
Blackout memory, children swimming
Fields are flooding, mother is singing
Rope tie a rope from the youngest sibling
To the eldest living in the mother country
Rope tie a rope - they are weeks on a boat
God bless that ship, the Aquatania
Rope tie a rope from the last word written
To the first word spoken on his safe return
Rope tie a rope from yourself to your neighbour
Streetlight’s gone and the moon is waning
Blackout bicycle, midnight riders
Your hands fixing Halifax bombers
Blackout telegram, short-hand lovers
Stay indoors and stoke the home fires
