Won't hear a sound at Porton Down,
the clear liquids keep their silence,
buried underground at Porton Down
the fast form of the final violence

Quite right to be worried about the proliferation
of nuclear bombs and power stations,
but there's a deterrent that's going to
unearth us yet

Hurry on round about Porton Down,
a quick glimpse of the future warfare
hidden under ground at Porton Down;
far too frightening to utter what you saw there

They got bacteria to drop us where we stand,
they got diseases still unknown to man,
they got the virus and a microgram's enough
to do in a continent

The ultimate madness,
just one shattered test-tube to wipe out the world

It begins with the mustard gas,
it proceeds to Hiroshima
The culture moves on -
now it's bacterial, truly insane
Porton Down waits to fever the brain

Won't hear a sound at Porton Down,
the clear liquids keep their silence
buried underground at Porton Down,
the fast form of the final violence
Hurry on round about Porton Down
a quick glimpse of the future warfare,
hidden underground at Porton Down,
far too frightening to say what you saw there

No sound at Porton Down,
from Porton Down,
after Porton Down
