A quaternary Plan Lyrics
When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land
Never underestimate the treachery of man
There comes a time in every life
When we should take a stand
And choose to make a secondary plan Chorus:
When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land
Never underestimate the treachery of man

King & Chrous:
A method of survival – escape should be at hand
So always be prepared with a
Secondary tertiary, quaternary plan

King: So the battle you must fight demands an army
And no-one in the world stands by your side
You could test your reliance, on a cry of defiance
But a wiser man would surely choose to hide
When the door slams shut in the prison
With the hangman’s noose flying high

Amelia:
It is good to believe, there’s an ace up your sleeve

King & Amelia:
And a method of escape is standing by

When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land
Never underestimate the treachery of man
There comes a time in every life
When we should take a stand
And choose to make a secondary plan

Chorus:
When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land
Never underestimate the treachery of man

King & Chrous:
A method of survival – escape should be at hand
So always be prepared with a secondary tertiary…

Chorus:
Preparation is the key to a world without frustration
To escape, get away with your life intact
Is the popular resolution
To walk right in to the lion’s den
With no more than a prayer as your best defence
Is the mark of a fool when there’s danger near
Nothing is the way it appears

King:
A little piece of lead, a little piece of gold
A simple sleight of hand and a story can be told
An unexpected fog, the sudden fall of rain
Can be proffered as a skill
With much credit to be gained
You can take it as a fact
You can bet your final pound
There’s time you will fall
Taste the dirt on the ground
Preparation pays – Preparation’s all
Nothing is the way it appears

However much you try to lead a careful life
There’s always something waiting
Some twist of fate that takes you by surprise

When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land
Never underestimate the treachery of man
There comes a time in every life
When we should take a stand
And choose to make a secondary plan

Chorus:
When crime is all around us and evil stalks the land
Never underestimate the treachery of man

King & Chrous:
A method of survival – escape should be at hand
So always be prepared with a
Secondary tertiary, quaternary plan
