Clive Nolan - Quaternary Plan lyrics

King: Wherever you may go, whatever you may do Anything can happen Some darker sky may fall on you However much you try to lead a careful life There's always something waiting Some twist of fate that takes you by surprise When crime is all around us, and evil stalks the land Never underestimate the treachery of man There comes a time in every life When we should take a stand And choose to make a secondary plan Chorus: When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land Never underestimate the treachery of man King & Chrous: A method of survival – escape should be at hand So always be prepared with a Secondary tertiary, quaternary plan King: As you crawl through the years in confusion Keep your cards a mystery till the end Every problem that is sent, is a new development And strategy demands a new defence A friend in every town or each country Is a blessing you may need in retreat When your path is strewn with the hordes of doom You may still snatch a victory from defeat When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land Never underestimate the treachery of man There comes a time in every life When we should take a stand And choose to make a secondary plan Chorus: When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land Never underestimate the treachery of man King & Chrous: A method of survival – escape should be at hand So always be prepared with a Secondary tertiary, quaternary plan King: So the battle you must fight demands an army And no-one in the world stands by your side You could test your reliance, on a cry of defiance But a wiser man would surely choose to hide When the door slams shut in the prison With the hangman's noose flying high Amelia: It is good to believe, there's an ace up your sleeve King & Amelia: And a method of escape is standing by When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land Never underestimate the treachery of man There comes a time in every life When we should take a stand And choose to make a secondary plan Chorus: When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land Never underestimate the treachery of man King & Chrous: A method of survival – escape should be at hand So always be prepared with a secondary tertiary… Chorus: Preparation is the key to a world without frustration To escape, get away with your life intact Is the popular resolution To walk right in to the lion's den With no more than a prayer as your best defence Is the mark of a fool when there's danger near Nothing is the way it appears King: A little piece of lead, a little piece of gold A simple sleight of hand and a story can be told An unexpected fog, the sudden fall of rain Can be proffered as a sk** With much credit to be gained You can take it as a fact You can bet your final pound There's time you will fall Taste the dirt on the ground Preparation pays – Preparation's all Nothing is the way it appears However much you try to lead a careful life There's always something waiting Some twist of fate that takes you by surprise When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land Never underestimate the treachery of man There comes a time in every life When we should take a stand And choose to make a secondary plan Chorus: When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land Never underestimate the treachery of man King & Chrous: A method of survival – escape should be at hand So always be prepared with a Secondary tertiary, quaternary plan
