99 Red Balloons 03/03/1984 - 3 Wks at # 1 (UK/BBC)
You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we´ve got Set them free at the break of dawn till one by one they were gone Back at base, sparks in the software Flash the message “somethings out there” Floating in the summer sky Ninety nine red balloons go by
Ninety nine red balloons Floating in the summer sky Panic bells, its red alert There´s something here from somewhere else The war machine springs to life Opens up one eager eye And focusing it on the sky The ninety nine red ballons go by
Ninety nine decisions treat Ninety nine ministers meet To worry, worry, super scurry Call the troops out in a hurry This is what weve waited for This is it boys, this is war The President is on the line As Ninety nine red balloons go by
Ninety nine knights of the air Ride super high-tech jet fighters Everyones a super hero Everyones a Captain Kirk With orders to identify To clarify and classify Scrambling the summer sky Ninety nine red balloons go by
As ninety nine red balloons go by
Ninety nine dreams I have had In every one a red balloon It´s all over and Im standing pretty In this dust that was a city If could find a souvenir Just the prove the world was here And here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go...
