about
October 1962. President Kennedy goes live on tv, announcing he has proof of a build-up of Soviet nuclear missiles on the island of Cuba. The threat of a pre-emptive strike to America is real. The level of military readiness is set one step from a global nuclear war.

lyrics
Defence Condition is two
A giant leap for mankind
A small step for you
Unless you’re blind
We pull a blockade
And call it quarantine
Could be our last day
You might convene
First strike: miscalculation
Second strike: retaliation
You keep pushing for war or invasion
We just want the best conclusion
In the meantime
Helen stares at the window
Hugging her husband
Waiting for that cloud
—Not coming, is it?—
It’s dark outside
The red of a street light
She might never live
To see another nice
Saturday night
A giant leap for mankind
A small step for you
Unless you’re blind
We pull a blockade
And call it quarantine
Could be our last day
You might convene
First strike: miscalculation
Second strike: retaliation
You keep pushing for war or invasion
We just want the best conclusion
In the meantime
Helen stares at the window
Hugging her husband
Waiting for that cloud
—Not coming, is it?—
It’s dark outside
The red of a street light
She might never live
To see another nice
Saturday night
