Lyrics The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy

To the Rescue

So many heartbreaks

So little time

Too many tragedies

Too many crimes

Put on your body armor

Prepare your alibis

Cause there is no one else

Gonna put it right

To the rescue

Down the streets and alleyways

Past the Chinese takeaways

Through the wind and driving rain

To the rescue

When the world won't understand

Government's got other plans

Take the law into your hands

To the rescue

Got a vigilante

Sleeping in my bed

I looked for Marilyn

I got Che instead (Yes I did)

But I'll march behind you

Wherever you may go

And I'm more proud of you

Than you can ever know

To the rescue

Through the snow and freezing rain

Down deserted country lanes

Round the world and back again

To the rescue

Taking the forgotten ones

Big and small, the old and young

When nobody else will come

You'll come to the rescue

To the rescue
