Full Lyrics


Spywrites’ Jeff Quest, Chopping’s covers, which Bond’s best?
Len Deighton, Rob Mallows, Jeffrey Westhoff, Dr No
Jake Kerridge Hush Puppies, Charlie Muffin, Jack Barksy
Roger Moore, Call for the Dead, spy-lit treasures to be read

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it



Spyweek’s Prof. Fielding, talked of spy-lit a to z,
Paul Dark, Mike Ripley, Niven and  George Lazenby
Barry Lancet, Jason King, Charles Cumming and the Cambridge Ring

Desmond Bagleys Running Blind, a first editions prize to find

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it



Modesty Blaise, Mick Herron, The Man with the Golden Gun
David Craggs, McGooan’s sub, Drax is cheating at the club
Spy Tours with Brian Gray, Cold War and  le Carre
Jason King, Markus Wolf, it’s time to come in from the cold,


H. MacInnes, William Boyd, all spy noir to be enjoyed
Horowitz, Mr Troy spy in the blitz,

Silhouettes in the dusk, Stevens or August Thomas,
Smiley-Oldfield, M or C? Conquering Shibumi


We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it



Aykroyd, Barbican, Shirley Dander, Jackson Lamb
Spybrary Shelf of fame, Bernard Samson, Berlin Game
Should ‘No Time to Die’ arrive, join us for a dead drop five
Red Spies Canada – run in tales by E. Ambler


Tim Shipman, Saint’s alive- A Spy lover’s deep dive
Jack Ryan, Red Sparrow, Matthew Bradford, Dr No

An Expensive Place to Die, Twinkle Twinkle Little Spy

Jack Lugo, Adam Hall, Paul Vidich,  Stejskal


Blofeld is back again, on the run from Ashenden

The Stranger, Spy on the Land, banco for a winning hand
Connery’s knowing smile, a crossword in the IPCRESS File
Cussler, Nygate, The Third Man, solving Riddle of the Sands,

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it



Tom Colgan, Matt Helm, in The Defence of the Realm,
Anthony Price, Freddie Forsyth; it’s all  A Legacy of Spies,
McCarry, Conway, Graham Greene. All double Os of silver screen

Matt Sherman,  Alex Swan, the drummer girl, the Glimmer one

We…



Harrison, Kuryakin, Jeff Quest back again,
UNCLE, Get Smart, Spyscape, poison dart
Moonraker, Allbeury, Kresal, Royale les Eaux

Jeremy Duns, Spy Command and the guys from Hildebrand



Charteris , Anthony Price, Sandbaggers and Burnside
Andy East, The Gray Man, Spies in Afghanistan
Andy Onyx, Spy rewind, Jeff Gelb, Callan’s mind

Sonya,
Philby, MacIntyre, and Shane Whaley


We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
