[Verse]
I have often seen Downing Street before,
But the pavement never shook beneath my feet before,
Now as I walk by I see mortars fly,
I'm glad its not Downing Street where I live.

Are there Provos here in this part of town?
Can they operate within the heart of London town?
Now at Number 10 its like Crossmaglen,
I'm glad it's not Downing Street where I live.

[Chorus]
And, oh, the cowering feeling,
As bombs start dropping so near,
Bricks showering down from the celling,
And any second you might suddenly disappear.

[Verse]
Mr. Major and your war cabinet,
Oh, thеy tell me that you haven't quitе recovered yet,
If you think its bad you should be in Baghdad,
And not in Downing Street where you live.

Oh, the cards were stacked were against a bomb attack,
For they feared retaliation would come from Iraq,
But the PLO did not strike a blow,
The Provos blitzed Downing Street where you live.

[Chorus]
And, oh, the cowering feeling,
As bombs start dropping so near,
Bricks showering down from the celling,
And any second you might suddenly disappear.

[Verse]
Mr. Major and all your tory friends,
Don't you see how close you came to meeting with your end,
Don't you understand while you hold Ireland,
It's not safe, Downing Street where you live.

If we get smart bombs from the USA,
We will send them gift wrapped to you from the IRA,
And then Number 10 won't be seen again,
There'll be no Downing Street where you live,
There'll be no Downing Street where you live.
