Lyrics XTC – The Last Balloon
Text:
The last balloon is leaving, the last balloon from fear
The last balloon is leaving, form that line right here
Climb aboard, climb aboard you menfolk
You won’t need any bombs or knives
Leave all that to your former lives
Drop it all
The last balloon is leaving, the last balloon of all
The last balloon is leaving, undress, discard, let fall
Climb aboard, climb aboard you women
You won’t need any gems or furs
Climb aboard, climb aboard you women
Leave all that to the bad old years
Drop it all
The last balloon is leaving, the last balloon they’ll fly
The last balloon is leaving and we won’t qualify
Climb aboard, climb aboard you children
Move aloft, while you’re fleet and fast
Climb aboard, climb aboard you children
We’re weighed down by our evil past
Drop us all, you should drop us all
drop us all and free your hand
drop us all, you should drop us all
drop us all like so much sand
