A A D D A A D E (x2)
Verse 1:
A D A D E
There's a couple sunbathing on a freshly mown lawn in England
A D A D E
It's a house with a view and all you see is green and blue for miles
A D A D E
The local Vicar has pretended that the church is well attended this morning,
A D A D E
As he wanders without purpose to the Sunday Service he smiles.
Pre-Chorus:
A D E
(Oh-ho!) What a beautiful morning.
A D E
(Oh-ho!) What a beautiful day.
A D E
(Oh-ho!) What a sickening feeling.
D E
It took this long to make it, now we re throwing it away
Chorus:
A D A D E
(The world's on fire)
Now, I was told not to play with fire (the world's on fire)
A D A D E
(The world's on fire)
I said, 'Look out, church, the flames grow higher' (the world's on fire)
A D A D E
(The world's on fire)
I said, 'Watch those flames lick that spire' (the world's on fire)
A D A D E
(The world's on fire)
I said, 'Look out, church, the flames grow higher' (the world's on fire)
Verse 2:
A D A D E
There's a curtain closed early in an upstairs room in England
A D A D E
There's a couple misbehaving when they should've been praising Sunday
A D A D E
And there's a bounce in their walk and the neighbours stop to talk for hours
A D A D E
And when eyebrows are raised at the next song of praise come Monday
Pre-Chorus:
A D E
(Oh-ho!) What a beautiful morning.
A D E
(Oh-ho!) What a beautiful day.
A D E
(Oh-ho!) What a sickening feeling.
D E
It took this long to make it, now we re throwing it away

A D A D E
(The world's on fire)
Now, I was told not to play with fire (the world's on fire)
A D A D E
(The world's on fire)
I said, 'Look out, church, the flames grow higher' (the world's on fire)
A D A D E
(The world's on fire)
I said, 'Watch those flames lick that spire' (the world's on fire)
A D A D E
(The world's on fire)
I said, 'Look out, church, the flames grow higher' (the world's on fire) Last updated:
