Ooh, let me take a candle to a cellar tonight
And Id like to take some matches there and set it alight
I can, cos Ive seen those kind of places before
Ooh, Id like to have a party in a cellar tonight
And Id love to have a party but it wouldnt be right
I shant, cos Ive seen those kind of people before
I won the war in the sitting room
I won the war but it cost me
I won the war and I feel proud
But I dont know why its hard to get to sleep in my house

Ooh, I have to pull the blankets up to cover my head
And I have to pull the blankets right up
But I dont know why its hard to get to sleep in my house

Well you keep following the feel of the fire
Its not difficult to see that youre
Young and selfish, and liberty and money, dont go

Let me take a candle to a cellar tonight
And you should see the parties weve had before
Give me the time, give me the time
Give me your watchword, give me whatever you like
(soon well be free)
I won the war in the sitting room
I won the war but it cost me
I won the war and I feel proud
But God only knows why its hard to get to sleep in my house
Ooh (supercilious smile)
Ooh (youre supercilious so....)

Well you keep following the feel of fire
Its not difficult to see that youre
Beautiful and young, and critical of nothing
And you keep following the feel of fire
Its not difficult to see that youre
Beautiful and young, but liberty and money, dont go
