There´s nowhere to defect to any more

I´m building a wall
a fine wall
not so much to keep you out
more to keep me in
I´m building a wall
a fine wall
not so much to keep you out
more to keep me in

Back then on a bomb-site
we were spies among the ruins
Such precocious barbarians
On TV we saw
cold war

There´s no where to defect to any more
I´m leaving the world
It´s all wrong
not so much what men are doing
much more what they´re not
I´m building a wall
a fine wall
not so much to keep you out
more to keep me in

Jesus and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Caesar conquered Gaul
Scouting for centurions
on a Roman wall

"Through the woods, the trees
and further on the sea
We lived in the shadow of the war
Sand in the sandwiches
wasps in the tea
It was a free country"
"Who d´you think you are? Captain Britain?"

I´m building a wall
a fine wall
not so much to keep you out
more to keep me in
I´m losing my head
Well, why not?
More work for the undertaker
means there´s less for me
I´m building a wall
a fine wall
not so much to keep you out
more to keep me in
