He said, "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
When am I gonna see that pretty face again?
See it all disappear without a trace
And do back the things it did to you in return"
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls"
'Cause some will laugh and some just sit and cry
"And I'm gonna buy this place" is what I said
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
They said, "Start as you mean to go on"
Oh meet me on the road, yeah meet me where I said
So meet me by the bridge, yeah meet me on the lane
See me crumble and fall on my face
And if you can tell me something worth fighting for"
"And I'm gonna buy this place" is what I said
But you just sit down there and you wonder why"
See me crumble and fall on my face
He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head, to the head
And they call as they beckon you on
He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
'Cause I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
They said, "Start as you mean to go on"
And I know the mistakes that I've made
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head, up to the head
Honey, all the movements you've started to make
Stand here until I feel all your heart's desires
Stand here beside me baby, watch the orange glow
So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
Honey, all the movements you've started to make
He said, " I'm gonna buy this place and see it fall
Start as you mean to go on
And I know the mistakes that I've made
Start as you mean to go on
