GUEST,Soggy Maineiac Lyr Add: No Cause for Alarm (Bill Prince) (4) Lyr Add: Bill Prince's 'No Cause For Alarm' 22 May 11


Hello Mudcatters! Well we finally had a day without rain here in Maine (Hi, Kendall!), although not sunny where I live. While mowing the lawn this song was running through my head after reading an article about the partial meltdown at Fukushima, and when I came inside I got out the album and transcribed all the lyrics I could, but some just aren't clear. I have it on an album sung by Pete Coe and Red Shift. Any help?

No Cause For Alarm
by Bill Prince

E-tests(?) on Christmas Island
        No cause for alarm
Cover your face with your hands
        No one will come to harm
Just follow your orders and do as you're told
The situation is under control
        And there's no cause, no cause for alarm

Power station at Windscale
        No cause for alarm
Safety measures that can't fail
        No one will come to harm
Pay compensation to three or four men
And rest assured it can't happen again
        So there's no cause, no cause for alarm

Research labs at Eddington
        No cause for alarm
Working with uranium
        No one will come to harm
Though there's been a slight leak for the last 20 years
The experts confirm that there's nothing to fear
        And there's no cause, no cause for alarm

Cruise missiles at Greenham
        No cause for alarm
American soldiers to guard them
        No one will come to harm
They're just a deterrent so what's all the fuss
They won't push the button without asking us
        And there's no cause, no cause for alarm

Nuclear waster on Katelstoe(?)
        No cause for alarm
It has to go somewhere we all know
        No one will come to harm
We'll bury the waste right under the clay
In two hundred years or so it will decay
        So there's no cause, no cause for alarm

Government down at Westminster
        No cause for alarm
??? is nothing ???
        No one will come to harm
Though we keep a few secrets it must be understood
We can't tell you everything for your own good
        No cause, no cause for alarm
        No cause, no cause for alarm
