Tricks Upon Travellers – Porton Down

Tricks Upon Travellers – Porton Down Lyrics

Artist: Tricks Upon Travellers
Song: Porton Down

My name is Alfie Reynolds and in 1943
I was 19 going on 20, had my life ahead of me
I went on down to Porton Down to volunteer to be
To do my national service for my King and my country

They gave us room, they gave us food and snooker, darts and beer
They told us not to worry, for there’s nothing here to fear
They gave us gasmasks and a gun to see if we could shoot
And they filled us up with mustard gas and told us not to puke

Porton Down, Porton Down, now who would you believe?
They fill you full of chemicals and see if you could breathe
Porton Down, Porton Down, you’re {?} men
Kill you once, kill you twice, kill you once again

Now 50 years have passed mе by but still I live in pain
Although we may not know it, it’s happening again
Thеy’re shooting pigs with guns, we hear, and calmly taking notes
When the only pigs that should be shot are those that wear white coats

They say that {?}, the air we breathe is fine
And cars don’t cause pollution and asthma’s in the mine
The fish are dying in the sea and {?}
Beware {?} money till there’s nothing safe to eat

Porton Down, Porton Down, now who would you believe?
They fill you full of chemicals and see if you could breathe
Porton Down, Porton Down, you’re {?} men
Kill you once, kill you twice, kill you once again

Porton Down, Porton Down, now who would you believe?
They fill you full of chemicals and see if you could breathe
Porton Down, Porton Down, you’re {?} men
Kill you once, kill you twice, kill you once again
