I have often seen downing street before
But the pavement never shook beneath my feet before
Now as I walk by I see mortars fly
I'm glad its not downing street where I live

Are there provos here in this part of town?
Can they operate within the heart of London town?
Now at number 10 its like Crossmaglen
I'm glad its not downing street where I live

And oh the cowering feeling
As bombs start dropping so near
Bricks showering down from the celling
And any second you might suddenly disappear

Mr. Major and your war cabinet
Oh thеy tell me that you haven't quitе recovered yet
If you think its bad you should be in Baghdad
And not in downing street where you live

Oh the cards were stacked were against a bomb attack
For they feared retaliation would come from Iraq
But the P.L.O did not strike a blow
The provos blitzed downing street where you live

And oh the cowering feeling
As bombs start dropping so near
Bricks showering down from the celling
And any second you might suddenly disappear
Mr. Major and all your tory friends
Don't you see how close you came to meeting with your end
Don't you understand while you hold Ireland
It's not safe downing street where you live

If we get smart bombs from the U.S.A
We will send them gift wrapped to you from the I.R.A
And then number 10 won't be seen again

There'll be no downing street where you live
There'll be no downing street where you live
