Villa Albani

Sweet deal is going down in the Villa Albani

The deal's being discussed behind closed doors

The ink isn't dried on the paper

The conference is better begun

Handshakes have been rung at the Villa Albani

And the tom goes tom and the tom goes tomtom

And the gun goes gun and the gun goes gungun

And the bomb goes bomb and the bomb goes bombbomb

Winter's closing in around the Villa Albani

Sitting round the fire, getting cold feet

With holy men coming for breakfast

Blood is on the streets, rumours all over town

About the Villa Albani

And the tom goes tom ...

Limousines coming and going

Helicopters are taking off

Nobody's answering the phone

Nobody's picking up the mail

Nobody's getting the door bell

This is a house of failure

Sweet deal is breaking down in the Villa Albani

Happy in the darkest day, happy in the coldest night

When people look out the window to see, what did they

see

At the Villa Albani

Rolling up the shutters they're carrying out the files

To the fire in the backyard

They're burning all the books

They're asking questions in town

And then they are going home for good

They are going home to care for their limousines and

tanks
