House Down In Carne (The Ballad Of Nuke Power)

My name is Nuke Power, a terror am I
I can cause such destruction on land, sea and sky
The Minister says that I’ll do you no harm
If he locks me up in this house down in Carne
Tooraloo, Tooralay
I’ll cripple and maim, and cause death and decay
He’ll have me well guarded, by night and by day
With soldiers on land and with sailors at sea
But no one can tame me, I’ll be restless, I warn
If he tries to lock me in this house down in Carne
Tooraloo, Tooralay
I’ll cripple and maim, and cause death and decay
Such a beautiful country I see all around
Where people and flowers even fishes abound
I’ll change that whole scene in 5 seconds, I warn
If from that house down in Carne
Tooraloo, Tooralay
I’ll cripple and maim, and cause death and decay
I’ll strangle our children, I’ll strangle our dogs
I’ll strangle all creatures in land, sea and bog
I’ll devastate Ireland from Killarney to Larne
If from that house down in Carne
Tooraloo, Tooralay
I’ll cripple and maim, and cause death and decay
I know of three sources called wind, rain and sun
Very powerful are they, but they’re also great fun
Treat them with respect and they’ll do you no harm
They’ll work for you free every day down in Carne
Tooraloo, Tooralay
They won’t cripple or maim, or cause death or decay
So to all you fine people, I’ll make this strong plea
Go tell your Minister to let me go free
If you don’t try to use me, I’ll do you no harm
Don’t let him lock me in his house down in Carne
Tooraloo, Tooralay
I’ll cripple and maim, and cause death and decay
Tooraloo, Tooralay
I’ll cripple and maim, and cause death and decay
