Stone Thames
Big Audio Dynamite Lyrics

Heard the news about the scare
The news of a spreading disease has been heard

In the underwear
The disease is sexually transmitted

Populations getting thin
The disease is affecting population growth

Forget the bomb its carnal sin yeah!
The disease is a bigger threat than nuclear war

Marriage up divorce is down
Marriage rates are up and divorce rates are down due to the fear of the disease

No one wants to fuck around
People are avoiding casual sex due to the fear of the disease

Save the rose reject romance
Avoid romantic relationships to protect against the disease

Micky Mouse don't drop his pants
Even popular figures like Micky Mouse are aware of the need for safe sex

Now to sexual relations
Further analysis on the current state of sex

Better take a wife
Encouragement to get married and avoid casual sex

Now that sex is death
Sexual activity can lead to death due to the spreading disease

Better lead a boring life
Avoiding excitement to minimize risk of disease

No time for social kissing
Avoiding large social gatherings to minimize risk of disease

You'll hardly raise a smile
Lack of social contact leads to a lack of happiness and joy

When you think what you'll be missing
The long-term effects of avoiding social contact are considered

Iron undies back in style
Protective clothing is now fashionable due to the fear of the disease

Now where did it start?
Questions are being asked about the origin of the disease

And where will it end?
Uncertainty about how the disease will be contained

Be nice to the wife
Encouragement to treat wives well during times of crisis

Can't trust your friends
Friends may be carriers of the disease and should not be trusted blindly

Masculine natural nowadays can offend
Men's natural behavior may spread the disease and should be avoided

Never gonna fall in love again
Love can lead to the spread of the disease and should be avoided

Seems like only yesterday
Reminiscing about simpler times

Cocaine and extasy
Recreational drug use was prevalent in the past

Run around and jump on anything ya see
Casual sexual encounters were common in the past

A marriage of convenience
Marriage is now based on practicality, not romance

Saw a doctor went abroad
Seeking medical treatment outside of the country

Saved up a few pennies
Saving money for unexpected expenses

Ran the weelchair down to Lourdes
Seeking a miracle cure for the disease

Now handsome is as handsome does
Attractiveness is no longer a priority

And I did it everywhere
Engaging in sexual activity everywhere, regardless of location

Before the currant era
In the past, before the current time of fear and uncertainty

I didn't have a care
Not worrying about the consequences of sexual activity

Bloodstream destination
The destination of blood when carrying the disease

Megavitamin therapy
Alternative medicine treatments are being explored

Artificial insemination
Alternative methods of reproduction

D.I.Y. vasectomy
Taking matters into one's own hands to prevent reproduction

Oh spaceman junkfood Dallas
Mention of popular culture and technology

The 20th century
Reflection on the events of the past century

Two World Wars a Great Depression
Mention of significant historical events

This must be Germ War III
The current disease outbreak feels like a war on germs

No need for alimony
Divorce rates are down due to the decreased interest in marriage and casual sex

'cause no one wants to split
People are avoiding divorce to minimize social contact

leisure times a gamble
Taking leisure time activities can increase the risk of disease

But jogging keeps you fit
Jogging is a healthy activity that can still be done during times of crisis

Packed my bags for China
Traveling to another country to escape the disease

Join the yellow race
Embracing Chinese culture as a way of coping with the crisis

Nostradamus had a theory
Looking to predictions of the future

They're inheriting the place
Chinese culture is becoming more prevalent and influential

Blamed it on the Haliens
Speculation is rampant about the true origins of the disease

C.I.A and KGB
Conspiracy theories about the disease

A.R.C. light a shining
Referring to an AIDS-related complex, another sexually spread disease

Down on monogamy
Traditional monogamous relationships may be less common during times of crisis

New date really hard
Difficulties in finding romantic partners during times of crisis

Promiscure? Change your views
Casual sex is no longer seen as desirable or safe

Unless you got a health card
Only those with proof of medical safety should engage in sexual activity

Take a tip from Howard Hughes
Emulating the reclusive habits of a wealthy businessman

Oh Trocadero transfer
Mention of a specific location or event

I-Beam closet scene
Mention of specific details or events

Cat and mouse with the press
Mention of media attention and paparazzi

Exposé celebrity
Exposing the private lives of celebrities to the public eye

The tramp of time continues
Time marches on despite the present difficulties

En masse to wedding bells
Marriage is still seen as an important milestone for many people

But they haven't made no breakthrough
No cure or solution for the disease has been found yet

To helper T. white cells
Research is being done on how to strengthen the immune system

Wholesale Hyper wipe out
Mention of other scientific or medical terminology

Technology against the pest
Advances in technology may help control the disease

Put away those etchings
Put away frivolous or unimportant things in preparation for difficult times

Sorry baby no contest
No need or desire for casual sexual encounters during times of crisis

Notches and phone members
Keeping track of sexual conquests is no longer important or relevant

Collection flesh as pelts
Objectifying sexual partners is no longer acceptable

Stealing cancers thunder
The new disease is now the main focus of medical research

Blows below the belt
References to sexual anatomy as a metaphor for betrayal or deceit

Oh don't it make you wonder
Wondering about the unpredictability of life

'Bout how the cards are dealt
Reflecting on the role of chance or fate in life

Hoyl cow
Exclamation of surprise, shock or disbelief
