Letra
Here, putting the world right on broadcasting itself, is Mr. George Bernard Shaw The politicians have not yet found out the microphone They still imagine that they are addressing political meetings And they don't understand that the microphone is the most wonderful tell-tale in the world If you speak insincerely to a political, say an election audience The more insincere you are, the more hopelessly you are away from all the facts of life The more they cheer you and the more they are delighted But if you try that on the microphone, the microphone has a certain magic It gives you away instantly You hear the political ranter You hear that his plat**udes mean nothing and that he doesn't really believe them And there's something more important If you nerve yourself to face the microphone by taking, say, half a gla** of whiskey The effect produced is that you are shockingly drunk At the present moment the whole fleet is lit up When I say lit up, I mean it's lit up by fairy lamps We've forgotten the whole royal review We've forgotten the royal review The whole thing is lit up by fairy lamps It’s as fantastic – It shouldn't appear as tall It’s just ... It’s fairyland, the whole thing is fairyland It's fairyland (fairyland, fairlyland ...) Now when I say the fleet is lit up, in lamps I mean she’s outlined, the whole ship's outlined In little lamps I’m sorry, I was telling to people to shut up talking What I mean is this: The whole fleet is lit up In fairy lamps And each ship is outlined Now as far as I can see Well, I suppose I can see down about five or six miles The ships are all lit up They’re outlined, the whole lot, even the destroyers are outlined In the old days, you know, destroyers used to be outlined by only a little kind of very bit of lights Nowdays, the destroyers are lit up ... by ... the outline looks solid In a second or two, we’re going to fire a rocket, going to fire all sorts of [?] things And you can't actually see them but you'll hear them going off You may hear a minor reaction when I see them go Because, um I’m going to try and tell you what they look like as they go off Because at the moment, the whole huge fleet here The thing we saw this afternoon This colossal fleet Lit up By lights There’s nothing between us and heaven There’s nothing at all And the whole thing is in fairyland It isn’t true It isn’t here And, as I say it I’m trying to give you, ladies and gentlemen, my concern The fleet’s gone, it’s disappeared I was talking to you In the middle of this damn ... In the middle of this fleet And what’s happened is the fleet’s gone and disappeared and gone We had 100, 200 warships around us a second ago And now they have gone It’s gone, it’s gone There’s no fleet It’s disappeared No magician who ever could have waved his wand could have waved it with more ac*men than he has now at the present moment
