Lyrics

[Man:] "blimey! i...i suppose...that was it."
[Woman:] "wasn't it light?"
[Man:] "yea, terrific. you--you get terrific light with those bombs. listen! a dog!"
[Woman:] "what does the fallout look like, dear?"
[Man:] "i don't know. the government director neglected to mention what it would look like. I expect it would look a bit like snow does, only gray. very quiet. I expect they're all are having a good lie-in after the bombing."
[Woman:] "terrible smell of burning."
[Man:] "yes. well there's bound to be. that's logical..."
[Woman:] "it's like...roast meat."
[Man:] "yes, it does. I expect everybody will be having their sunday dinner a bit early this week, due to the unexpected circumstances..."
[Man:] "a cloud coming up. looks like rain. we'll be alright for water now for a while, my dear."
[Woman:] "do you think rainwater is alright to drink?"
[Man:] "oh yes, of course it is. there's nothing purer than rainwater, is there? everybody knows that."
[Woman:] "oh, look! my hair's coming out."

[Man:] "hair's coming out."

[Woman:] "my hair's coming out."
