Overnight by Robb Johnson

1. They're moving us on, at the mainline station,
We must be out of their mind, out of their sight.
No final solution, just my imagination maybe.
But nothing happens overnight
So where do we go now?
With the last bus leaving for Heathrow
The piss on the stairs, the bloody tower blocks of Babylondon
Saying our prayers, in an age of reason
Nothing happens overnight

Ch.1: Overnight, overnight. I don't think the sky will fall
Would you be there if I call, you overnight

2. This long journey home is never ending
So where do we start, putting things right?
Where there are so many hearts, need so much mending
Nothing happens overnight.
I don't know if the angel will pass over us
All I know is this, it'll be alright
.

Ch.2: If we love one another enough
Nothing happens overnight
Overnight, overnight,
I don't think the sky will fall
Would you be there if I call, you overnight

3. Gestapo creeps how! in the suburban distance
U nlock your windows, I'll be your moonlight
You can be my French resistance
Nothing happens overnight

And though our lives are cheap as paper
Something survives that burns us so bright
Father to son, No Pasaran
Mother to daughter, No Surrender
Nothing happens overnight

Overnight, overnight, I don't think the sky will fall
Would you be there if 1 call, you overnight
