about

Dont go outside, dont drive, dont take the plane, dont do anything or you'll....yep you guessed it,
80's Uk school kids were made to watch horrific public information broadcasts to warn them of danger, check youtube if you've never seen these

lyrics

Johnny didn't learn the code
Got phones over his lobes
Didn't look he crossed the road
He Wound up dead
Jenny liked to blether
Went hitchhiking any weather
But she's coming back never cos she
Wound up dead
Lucy had a pet snake
Liked to have a bedmate
Forgot to buy the pet bait
She wound up dead
Jimmy didn't like to chew
Sandwich he swallowed two
Head was the colour blue
He wound up dead
Tony didn't think
That he'd had too much to drink
Took his car over the brink
And he wound up dead

Call when you're bound up
Neighbours put the sound up
Six feet Round-Up
Wound up dead
Thought that you'd found luck
Look how they wound up
Quick, get down, duck
Wound up dead

Quick don't dilly dally
Silly Billy, Silly Sally
Went down a dark alley
Wound up dead
Careful your habitat
Earthquake, heart attack
Nice swim, shark attack
Wound up dead
Dark wood so frightening
Freak hit by lightning
Overdose on vitamins
Wound up dead
Impaled by an icicle
No brakes on your bicycle
Don't reheat your rice or you'll
Wind up dead

Call when you're bound up
Neighbours put the sound up
Six feet Round-Up
Wound up dead
Thought that you'd found luck
Look how they wound up
Quick, get down, duck
Wound up dead
Call when you're bound up
Neighbours put the sound up
Six feet Round-Up
Wound up dead
Thought that you'd found luck
Look how they wound up
Quick, get down, duck
Wound up dead

Whenever you're thinking you're safe in your habitat
Hell of a Hellico' happen to crash in that
Look at your neighbour, you're like "what you laughing at"?
Sucker recovers and suffers a heart attack
Didn't you think that he'd come back again
Evil intent, with a paper and pen
Hate to have thought what the end would've been
The key would've been just keeping your skin
Why would you catch it then leave it again
Touching the wood that they buried him in
Lucifer sits with a devilish grin
Taking you in with a litre of gin
Word stress, killable syllables
Captain coming to kill 'em all
Hazard a blow, with a second to go
Severed a bone now he'll never go home
Living inhibited, who are you kidding by
Sitting there riveted
Now that you figure your lungs and your liver dead
Clock 'll be ticking, your ticker is limited
Visit the Pyramids
Louis was clever and better than most
Maths and science he never would boast
But when he endeavoured to butter the toast
The slice got stuck and it started to roast
Jammed in a fork like a dangly dork
Ranking of pork like a gangrene corpse
Dead, riggormort, now he fed no more
Dead to the core, no bread, remorse

Call when you're bound up
Neighbours put the sound up
Six feet Round-Up
Wound up dead
Thought that you'd found luck
Look how they wound up
Quick, get down, duck
Wound up dead
Call when you're bound up
Neighbours put the sound up
Six feet Round-Up
Wound up dead
Thought that you'd found luck
Look how they wound up
Quick, get down, duck
Wound up dead
