Dirty Pretty Things

Shock after shock from the snake she bites
Happy hour downtown, ladies night
With your townie boys who make your brethren fight
Night after night after night after night, go
Come on sweetheart, come on sweetheart, oh

It's an eye for any eye 'neath the hurricane sky
How will you find me a lover in time?
With your muscle vest clad lads who nearly fight
Close off your senses and turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want

Oh, heed this sound advice
No don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skits the same but the face is new, oh oh

On the crying tarts who step
And broken hearts are all you get
The drinks go on and the beat's the resounding
The drinks go on and the beat's still sounding
Come on darling, come on darling, come on sweetheart, oh

You look pretty, pretty fit
For a pedestrian pounding
This nightclubs still shit
But be weary of the gypsy boy you're mounting

She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want

Oh, heed this sound advice
No, don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skits the same but the face is new, oh oh

The best that's what you'll get before
The walk of shame tomorrow
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Your monkey lots, they tumble 'round

You dance your fucking swan song
You dance your fucking swan song
You dance your fucking swan song
To a blundering oracle

So here's to your future
And your awful wedded wife

She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want

Oh, heed this sound advice
No don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skits the same but the face is new, oh oh

You look smart but that's not enough
You need a course in attitude, nobody's fussed
You can spend all your days planning what to buy
And then the signs all spin around, you'll pay your debts in time

You wanna shake, shake, shake to fit in all that much
There seem to be holes in everything his cold hands touch
And we'll take, take, take and swallow the whole way down
We may fall forever but we won't fall down

We'll, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, woah, oh
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, woah, oh and it's on

There's blood on my shoes
Nobody knows
Because of you

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Nobody knows
Where did you go?

You're pretty, so pretty
And if somebody loves you then leave us alone
All the rich get richer but still they cry
They sing the city is after us and we don't know why

Profound is the debt, the debt you owe
You owe it to sorrow and sorrow you owe
For when we're down the ship is all you've ever known
You go to glamor for the glamor but it's never your own, so alone

There's blood on my shoes
Nobody knows
Because of you

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Nobody knows
Where did you go?

With our cock-eyed wistful vision we're oblivious
To all the hell we've raised, baby, that's how it should stay
When we don't feel change or pain or hate or love
We're going to reach for the sedative but it's never enough

For our fake, fake spirit and our masquerade
We have so many colors but still we dwell in the shade
I play the pugilist, the apathist in so many ways
It's always tomorrow or never, forever and a day, so alone

There's blood on my shoes
Nobody knows
Because of you

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Nobody knows
Where did you go?

We could throw ourselves in a road
But receive no comfort from street lights
Why not come in for a jamens and escape life?
We're idle in the mean time
Aristocrats and architects with broken dreams

Well, I say the dead sea is dying
You say you're going underground for a while
Well, we all need to be recognized for something
Not sure if the devil's eyes are blue
Work and days of underpaid still hold the key

I see this place from my window
It goes on the corner like the rest
There are the buzzards and the crows
Making eyes of a sea, self obsessed

Now, if commandment 11 is, "Don't get caught"
Then 12 must be, "Don't ever tell"
Then ask yourself do you believe you'll go to hell?
My mate went to the crossroads to see the devil
He never showed and if he says that I believe

I hear the place from my window
Call me like a lighthouse to the sea
There swarm the buzzards and the crows
Swirling wide talking wise and there's me

You and I hanging around
Lads who've got childish names
Scissors, we cut it out
Shining before by the waves

And I need to be recognized
'Cause we could be self-assured
We could be happy indoors

I know this place from my window
I trip out and fall to the ground down below
Hoods up for the buzzards and the crows
Who believe in the void of themselves
Still believe in the void of themselves

And all the trees and animals of mountains green

Well, it took you seven years to learn my name
And I know it's all the drugs and booze that I took, lame
Oh, sh-sh-shame
(What a shame)

But it took me seven years to forget your name
All the drugs, all the fools and all the
The hanging around, I fell out of the game
What a shame

What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take to make you understand?
What would it take to make you understand?

Well, all the filthy old Mary's and their Chinese dogs
So, is a no go, oh, if you know what I know, what?
I know what you know, oh dear

A million common people want to tear your head off
Just to show your bones to the night
Cause the night is when I'm satisfied
Woah, oh, oh

What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take to make you understand?
What would it take to make you understand?
It can't be us ?cause the worlds gone cold

And if the hat don't fit ya
Yeah? It don't fucking fit ya

What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take for me to be your man?
Well, what would it take to make you understand?
What would it take to make you understand?
It can't be us ?cause the worlds gone cold

Hails to the chancers As boredom kills like cancer We need dreams For the romancers And I'm looking to you Well, the life's so lonely I need my one and only If you know love Come on and show me Now I'm looking to you So come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer My resistance is low Come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer I'm not letting you go Had love and I set it free But it never came back to me, now The skies have gone ugly From Bolton to rugby As I’m looking for you Now come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer My resistance is low Don't pay mind to them you’re most beautiful when you don't bother So just let it go Ohhh ohhh ohhh It's hard to sacrifice so Let me out, Let me out Ohhhhhhh Well it's hard to sacrifice so Let me out I'm gonna find it all, I'm gonna find it all Ohhhh Come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer My the resistance is low Don't pay mind to them you’re most beautiful when you don't bother So just let it go

The fights, they never end
Like the nights, they've taken me over
And yeah I get the fear
But I cannot be bothered

All this waiting is just hesitating for nothing
And the fault lines
And all the conjecture from both sides
Why oh why can't we change things
This is destroying me inside

You know you wanna run away

We shared out dreams
And nearly everything in between
I'll never forget those
Long lost days in a haze
Where we lost ourselves with no apology

All this waiting is just hesitating for nothing
And the fault lines
And all the conjecture from both sides
Why oh why can't we change things
This is destroying me inside

You know you wanna jump in
To the pit
Back to life distorted (So sordid)
We fell down dead
But nobody saw it
I got twenty faces and I'm talking in tongues
I fell like the devil
What does the devil do?

You know you wanna run away

Fault lines all on the wrong side of daylight
Slight on the deck and its fine
We can hold on for a lifetime

You know you wanna run away

I am a hippy's son
I'm into porn and guns, I'm virile, fertile
I scream when I come
Related to you all by 6 degrees

I am a fire sign
I've never swung with the times
Spreading honey on thorns and truths that rhyme
My stories are all tall

But it's so obvious
It's bloody outrageous
They try and they try
But they'll just never save us

Hush, hush my love
Come fall into these arms
Hush, hush my love
Come fall into my arms
Hush, hush my love

I am my father's son
I'll kick your teeth in and run
A bulldog blinded by rainbows and sun
I'm related to you all, I think that you'll all agree
I'm naked to all

But it's so obvious
It's bloody outrageous
They try and they try
But they'll just never save us

Hush, hush my love
Come fall into these arms
Hush, hush my love
Come fall into my arms
Hush, hush my love

I was your baby boy
I was designed to destroy
Flushed in crime
Fascist's tannoy

I am a hippy's son
I am a hippy's son
I am a hippy's son
I am a hippy's son

After a month our friendship waned
'Cause you're ambitious to a fault
How did I let you in my brain?
Just look in these western eyes

I've been lost a time or two
Not knowing what is evil
Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow
Nothing left for you
But kicks or consumption

Thought Japan was out of bounds
But, oh, the boys just got to town
Oh no, and it's happening again

You and I have fallen out again
We're empty skirts to number ones
Why do I humor you in vain?
Just look in these western eyes

I've been lost a time or two
Not knowing what is evil
Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow
Nothing left for you
But kicks or consumption

Clawing at the windows when the wheels came off
European playground turned out far too much
She tells me other people get the best of me
So maybe she will never get the best of me
There must be a devil at the BBC

I've been lost a time or two
Not knowing what is evil
Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow
Nothing left for you
But kicks or consumption

You sauntered off and you said how’s tricks
You can’t mix drugs with your politics
But we took and talked and lost the plot
And after that everything seemed fine
In this distinct and beautiful collide
We drag each others worlds round under the tide
With intoxicated hands
Cold cold hearts
And well laid plans


Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you


La la la la la
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
Why can't I move on?


How do you escape
The great pails of pouring rain
Go to a foreign land or a house in Spain oh
La la la la la la oh
Oh how I'd kill to go
Erect the gutters and rib us in
Life or buildings and medicines
We all make the same mistakes
Our pitfalls pull us together


Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you


La la la la la
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on


Kick this round our bedroom floor
Hate the daylight hours which you wont ignore
But the tide, the tide has drifted away


Are You listening
Are you listening
As the days like the waves decisively pull us under


La la la la la
You keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
La la la la la
Keep it on


There's friends for life and accquaintances,
There's romance from great distances,
There's been so many casualties,
But i cannot wallow over these
Oh no

Four more rotations and no one will hurt
These are the things I dream of
I've been thinking through the drinking
Though my confidence is shrinking

That I might be fine
The north would be so proud of you

Ooh, what would you do?
Ooh, when stars fall from the sky
And you're only two seconds from crying?

Paraffin, Anadin, sick as disguise
So we take our snappy patterns
And use them as knives
Now, there's nothing left for me to try
My own arrogance and humble pie

But I'll be alright
The north would be so proud of you

So, I'll see you tomorrow, shall we call it one
Trying to get the sparks to light
Seeing as they've gone
You don't know how to value that
But I know how to value that

I think we'll be fine
The north would be so proud of you

Ooh, what would you do
Ooh, when stars fall from the sky
And you're only two seconds from crying?

How can they be tired
of England
They'll never know
the England
that we know
Never know where the ones
with the dreams go no
Never notice the skies
with their eyes down low
We'll never be tired
of England
United in rain
in the cities
To channel the pain
and the pity's woe
To carry them back to
the place below
With the blues the greys
the green the brown
To lonely nights uptown
Don't let them
bring you down
Lonely nights uptown
Don't let them
bring us down no
How can they be tired
of London
The sense in the
air on a warm day
Generation of hope
that sees better days
But moving along in the same old ways
We'll never be tired of London
From Clerkenwell into the city
The state of the roofs
is a pity though
Generations all cramped
with their kids in tow
With the blues the greys
the green the brown
To lonely nights uptown
Don't let them bring you down
Lonely nights uptown
Don't let them bring us down no
While the Queen of England
sits on her throne
Off bingo cards and chicken bones

Don't drink yourself to
a lonely death
In casinos on crystal meth
Don't drink yourself to
a lonely death
In casinos on crystal meth
So sing your song of
Banbury Cross
Don't breathe a word about your loss
Don't trust Old Nick to fall on dawn
Half sized cars and top shelf porn
How can they be tired of England
How can they be tired of England
How can they be tired of England
How can they be tired of England

This is where the truth begins
Where teardrops glance the sallow skin
You lose your will
And I can lend you mine

The Westway wall's so tall and bleak
Reflect the words we dare not speak
By the bottle's end
We may have done our time

What you want is to stay away from people like me
Who twist most everything they see
And leave the gray old world behind you

So sow it up, kid, have some clout
We'll do some wine and fall about
The sun will shine again tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, we'll look beyond the parapet
We are just bums lest you forget
We can beg, steal and borrow

Well, you say the pills will sort me out
Embolden me against
The manifestations of fear and doubt
I just forgot who I used to be

So, now I'm strung
Somewhere between a dream
And the humdrum day to day routine
A laurel wreath on the door to my heart

What you want is to wash your face and try to breathe
Forget your mind and shut your eyes so that you can see
And leave the gray old world behind you

So sow it up, kid, have no doubt
We'll walk the line and have it out
The sun will shine again tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, for all the friends you've ever met
Some you'll love and some forget
Just hold on for tomorrow

So here's to now and all of us
With our sweet hearts we tried to make a brand new start
May the fabric never tear us apart

And some day when we're in the cold
Here's a semblance we can hope
So pick a posy and put it on your heart for me

So, now I move and if you're in
It wouldn't hurt just to give it a try and win
Don't forget who you're meant to be

What you want is to get a bike and do wheelies
But I bet you can't do 'em half as good as me
Throw it out when it's over, it's over

So sow it up, kid, have some clout
We'll go to mine and sulk about
How the sun will shine tomorrow
For all the friends you've not yet met
Some would die for you, I'll bet
So hold on for tomorrow

So sow it up, kid, have some clout
We'll go to mine and fuck about
The sun will shine again tomorrow
For all friends you've not yet met
Some would die for you, I bet
So hold on for tomorrow

This is where the truth begins
For more than seven deadly sins
And even though
I may have hurt your mind

You got the world boy
This all you make it?
You had the choice lad
You wouldnt take it
The oldest charm
Only the best for you
And the years of my life,
Some they were so good,
But now and again I feel
I was a coward
Are the holes in my soul
In tatters for all these tears
Well you dont see it that way
A way, a way
We’lll have it today
The dancing ones they really mean it
But something boy,
somethings gonna change
A way, a way
Youve got it they say
How do they know
When theyve never seen it?
And what will you do
When they forget your name?
Well you’ll up and get another one
Don’t give me that face
I know when I should live in disgrace
Not dig up the deadwood
I knew this place was never the place for me
And of the years that rolled by
Yeah some were so good
But now I know that
You were the coward
The holes in your soul
In tatters for all these years
But you cant see it that way
A way, a way
Well have it today
The dancing ones they really mean it
And mark my words
Something’s gonna change
A way, a way
Youve got it they say
But how do they know
When theyve never seen it?
And what will you do
When they forget your name?
Well you’ll up and get another one
A way, a way
We’ll have it today
The dancing ones they really mean it
But something boy

Well you’ll up and get another one

Did you ever have to do
The thing you swore you’d never do
Something filthy and impatient,
Something churlish bold and shrewd
Well sit down my boy
And i’ll tell you exactly how i crawled right
Through
Gather in your confidence
And hear the story of a man
Who came undone
First you weigh up your commitments
Where your loyalties really lie
And if you bump into jesus
You just look him in the eye
Tell him that you’re fine
Silently return to sharpening your knife
Finally when the time comes think of who you really need
And close your eyes so tightly you think they’ll bleed
Don’t drop your guard don’t let
Them know the thoughts inside your head
Just do what you’ve always done
Though they all wish you were dead
They’ll crush your heart
Your spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead
And you know when the time comes there’ll be nowhere new to hide
He’ll just be in your heart and you’ll lose pride
Never break the line
Never click your heels in time
If your heart’s anything like mine that’s not the way
Don’t get comfortable down there
Don’t pretend that it’s always fair
With your fingers crossed it’s not your loss
If you really want to you can stay
You can stay
Never drop your guard and let them
Know the thoughts inside your head
Just do what you’ve always done
They'll all wish you were dead
They’ll crush your heart
The spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead
Then someday when your bones break
And you dont know gifts from theft
Drink yourself away one to my left
Never break the line, never click your heels in time
If your heart's anything like mine that's not the way
Don’t get comfortable down there
Don’t pretend that it's always fair
And your fingers crossed
And it’s not your loss
So if you really want to you can stay
You can stay

There's a heart in a girl on a ship on a sea
And I know that girl is thinking of me
There's a heart in a girl and I know that it beats like a drum
But every time that I think of the girl my heart gets heavy and I'm stuck in a whirlwind
I turn to my shadow and my heart starts to beat like a drum
Said oh you might upon a steeple set
Broken crumbling battlements
Puffin on a coffin nail
With a wry little smile that she keeps up her shell
And she hides that forest from the house that hide from the sun
Puffin on a coffin nail
With a friend of a friend and an arse like a whale
Well there's a girl with a friend who was stuck in a disco rut
Slut
Oh give me the strength just to give fate a try
Though my hands get sweaty and my mouth goes dry
Just to think every time that my plans go awry, you see
Just give fate a passage but she was just a bore
And the letters are crazy and a bit cocksure
And you can't find your mind and my heart on a coffin and agree
Come with outcry and panting breast
And break upon the slippery wreck
Puffin on a coffin nail
With a friend of a friend with an arse like a whale
But this girl is a friend of a friend you see
Stuck in a disco rut
Puffin on a coffin nail
Yes she gives you a chance and you give me the mail
And she works for the mail but she's out on bail
Well you scream
So I'm sad to say that my heart shattered this way
I knew she'd be no better
Yes I knew if I'd have met her
That I'd soon enough forget her
Now face your hero's just pretend
And I've had a word with him
(random talk)
Puffin on a coffin nail
Yes she's talking like Elvis cos she's just done a rail
But her lover's on bail with a dealer like a snail on speed
Puffin on a coffin nail
Yes I gave her a something just to tell me a tale
And she told me a tale but she told me a tale
About you
So this is the end of the road
And this is the path that you chose
Well it's no skin off my nose
A lover with a brick has had the rose
End of the road

I knew all along
That I was right at the start
About the seeds of the weeds
That grew in your heart
Self satisfaction for the factions
Who formed to tear us apart
Oh I gave you the Midas touch
As you turned round to scratch out my heart
Oh what did you expect?
Oh tell me what did you expect?
To lay it on my head?
So is it all upon my head?
Bang bang you're dead!
Oh I'm so easily lead
Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
Put all those rumours to bed
Bang, bang you're dead

I knew all along
But I was loathed to believe
There was nothing but spite
Fury and lies in the words that you weave
Bring our illusion to a conclusion
With all our unsold dreams
Put it to bed, kick it in the head
Oh won't they just let it be

Bang bang you're dead!
Oh I'm so easily lead
Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
Put all those rumours to bed
Bang, bang you're dead

Oh what did you expect?
Oh tell me what did you expect?
To lay it on my head?
So is it all upon my head?
Bang bang you're dead!
Oh I'm so easily lead
Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
Put all those rumours to bed
Bang, bang you're dead

I knew all along
That I was right at the start
About the seeds of the weeds
That grew in your heart
Self satisfaction for the factions

Oh tell me what did you expect?

So is it all upon my head?
Bang bang you're dead!
Oh I'm so easily lead
Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
Put all those rumours to bed
Bang, bang you're dead

The world seems out of touch now
I don't get out so much
I don't feel the same
In these bones anymore
My heels are all worn down
My loyalties are torn
I'm finding different paths now
I never saw before
And it hurts less every day
The paths lead me away
Lead me away from those
Blood Thirsty Bastards
Making plans for no one
But themselves
In this world of disaster
I just need someone
For myself
All the sycophants and vampires
Well I packed them off to hell
Oh I've been up for days now
I hope no one can tell
I do my bit oh yes
To cleanse my hands from lies
I'm feeding up the zombies
Hatched from their own eyes
And from these eyes
The weary eyes cum shadows
Of a very different man
Blood thirsty bastards making
plans for no one
but their own
I got to be my own master
get away from these braggards
tricksters foolish clones
Oh look at how they laugh
at you now
What did you do to make
this bad become true
For heavens sake
Such a silly mistake
You're a legend in your mind
But a rumour in your room
They all followed me down here
To an alleys dirty end
Oh I had nothing to give them
I just thought they were my friends
Doesnt matter now
I'm angry anyhow
So its the best way
I can deal with
Blood thirsty bastards
Making plans for no one
But their kind
Only now do I see it
I know I don't need it no
I pay them no mind
Blood thirsty bastards making
plans for no one
But themselves
In this world of disaster
I just need someone
To myself

The world seems out of touch now
I don't get out so much
I don't feel the same
In these bones anymore
My heels are all worn down
My loyalties are torn
I'm finding different paths now
I never saw before
And it hurts less every day
The paths lead me away
Lead me away from those
Blood Thirsty Bastards
Making plans for no one

In this world of disaster
I just need someone
For myself
All the sycophants and vampires
Well I packed them off to hell

For heavens sake
Such a silly mistake
You're a legend in your mind
But a rumour in your room
They all followed me down here
To an alleys dirty end
Oh I had nothing to give them
I just thought they were my friends
Doesnt matter now
I'm angry anyhow
So its the best way
I can deal with
Blood thirsty bastards
Making plans for no one
But their kind
Only now do I see it
I know I don't need it no
I pay them no mind
Blood thirsty bastards making
plans for no one
But themselves
In this world of disaster
I just need someone
To myself

You got the world boy

This all you make it?
You had the choice lad
You wouldnt take it
The oldest charm

Only the best for you

And the years of my life,
Some they were so good,
But now and again I feel
I was a coward
Are the holes in my soul
In tatters for all these tears
Well you dont see it that way

Away, away

We’lll have it today

The dancing ones they really mean it

But something boy,
somethings gonna change

A way, a way

Youve got it they say
How do they know
When theyve never seen it?

And what will you do
When they forget your name?

Well you’ll up and get another one

Don’t give me that face
I know when I should live in disgrace
Not dig up the deadwood
I knew this place was never the place for me

And of the years that rolled by
Yeah some were so good
But now I know that
You were the coward
The holes in your soul
In tatters for all these years

But you cant see it that way

A way, a way

Well have it today
The dancing ones they really mean it
And mark my words
Something’s gonna change

A way, a way
Youve got it they say
But how do they know
When theyve never seen it?
And what will you do
When they forget your name?

Well you’ll up and get another one

A way, a way
We’ll have it today
The dancing ones they really mean it
But something boy
somethings gonna change

A way, a way
Youve got it today
But how do they know
When theyve never seen it?
And what will you do
When they forget your name?

Well you’ll up and get another one

I've been chasing a dream
Round a dirty little room
I've been lacing up my coffee
and screaming at the moon
Its no good for my health
I cant rate-rape myself
And if I can shake off this feeling
Then I'll be there with you soon
I need a lover a lover who's kind
If you love a woman you mustn't beat her
And if shes got a lover I'd like to meet her
The instinct I have is to kill the thing I love
And it seems to come so natural
I can never never get enough
And I know that she is wise
And she's the apple of my eye
She's my dirty pretty lover
And I want her at my side
I need a lover a lover who's kind
If you love a woman you mustn't beat her
And if you love another I'd like to meet her
What a silly way to go
Mess up the only thing you know
And its rough it's rum
It makes me feel so numb
Oh no oh no oh no no no
La la la la
I've been chasing round my room for this dirty little dream
I've been eyeing up your cigarettes and screaming at the queen
It's not good for my health
I cant rate-rape myself
And if I don't shake off this feeling
Then I'll be there with you soon
I need a lover a lover whos kind
If you love a woman you mustn't beat her
And if you love another I'd like to meet her
If you love a woman no you mustn't beat her
And if you love another oh I'd like to meet her
If she has a brother oooh la la laaa
A lover whos kind

To think that the last of the small town playboys was a little bit like me
Hold on
Well what could that mean?
Well Im still looking around for leads
Cos when it comes to playboys
Small towns are bursting at the seams
England's getting fat
But this suit is wearing thin
So deal me another hand
Before the games begin
Well what do you do if the world owes you something?
What else is there to do
When the world owes you something new?
I want you just to forget myself
I need you just to forget myself
I want you just to forget myself
And so the last of the small town playboys
Is a little bit like me
Hold on
Now what could that mean?
No hope of hope and glory
Spilling down the Camden Road
Im in it for the story
That you spit at me in code
Well, my hearts in a headlock and my soul goes on unsung
Unsung for the lonely
Well what do you do when your world owes you something?
Oh what is there to do
When the world owes you something new?
I want you just to forget myself
I need you just to forget myself
I've got you just to forget myself
I need you
I want you
Ive got you just to forget myself
I need you
I want you
I've got you just to forget myself

So far dishonest as the day is long
I'm sorry so I'll go now
But I love you, so it won't be long
And the specters in the masonry
Remind us of the things that might have been

Isn't it time you washed your face?
It looks like a burnt out fireplace
And I am awash with memories
And worrying complexities

But in time
(In time)
You'll find it very scary
It's hard to live respectfully

The enemy as I know it
Is right inside my head
The enemy as I know it
Is right inside my head

Everyone's still all over the place
And not to humble to embrace
And oh my gosh the memories
But your arrogance perplexes me

Now this time
(This time)
I shouldn't be so lazy
Just try to live respectfully

The enemy as I know it
Is right inside my head
The enemy as I know it
Is right inside my head

So are you giving it a shot now?
And it all came back
And you did a little turn now

Well, they didn't like that
Are you going to give it up for?
(And the specters in the masonry
Remind us of the things that might have been)

All you need's a gentle heart
To see you through endless dark
All you need's a gentle heart
To see you through endless dark

The enemy as I know it
Is right inside my head
The enemy as I know it
Is right inside my head

The enemy as I know it
Is right inside my head
The enemy as I know it
Is right inside my head

So far dishonest as the day is long
I'm sorry so I'll go now
But I love you, so it won't be long

Run they said to a promised land
Run and find us a helping hand
Don’t come back till the sun is gone
Don’t come back till the war is won

We all set out with our hearts in hand
A cold wind covered up a line in the sand
All so young
Nothing to lose
Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes

And oh do you know what I’m saying
Strike a light to guide us
Somewhere
Tempest swells our worlds collide
Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes
Then as the sky began to bruise
We all sought shelter from the breaking news

Oh did I ever show you
All the great memorials, all the factory floors
And oh though you know I don’t know you
Now that were here
Let’s make them proud

On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Traipsing over bridges
Over corpses down below
And all the while we could have smiled
For one thing on our minds
The very thing you strive for
Is the thing that makes you blind

Run they said to a promised land
Run and find us a helping hand
Don’t come back till the sun is gone
Don’t come back till the war is won

Tempest high, stories tall
Thought that we learnt nothing at all
Then at last the day was saved
With flowers borrowed from a dead friends grave

And oh even still I don’t know you
Maybe I’ll show you
If you’ve eyes to see

And so farewell
And so farewell
And so farewell
And so farewell to it

Run they said to a promised land
Run and find us a helping hand
Don’t come back till the sun is gone
Don’t come back till the war is won

We all set out with our hearts in hand
A cold wind covered up a line in the sand
All so young
Nothing to lose
Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes

And oh do you know what I’m saying
Strike a light to guide us
Somewhere
Tempest swells our worlds collide
Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes
Then as the sky began to bruise
We all sought shelter from the breaking news

Oh did I ever show you
All the great memorials, all the factory floors
And oh though you know I don’t know you
Now that were here
Let’s make them proud

On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Traipsing over bridges
Over corpses down below
And all the while we could have smiled

And so farewell
And so farewell

We were so pretty now is this it
You and I are too young for this
No blood no lust or spit
But still there is something there to play upon
A flash of instant thereabouts youll miss it and its gone
But still its good to be in love with someone
When you've always had to be with no one.
She said everyones a story of their own
But if we don't leave now well find ourselves with no way home
And so we strolled on all bangered and confused
At first it wasn't pretty but we soon undid that rouse so
Now we got something in many other ways
All the boys together and a knees up on the way
Still its good to be in love with someone
When you've always had to be with no one.
She said everyone's a story of their own
But if we dont leave now well find ourselves with no way home
Find ourselves with no way home
And it occurred to me, I think on Lambeth Road
There's no more need to question life
Or cry for what I'm owed
And now its over so now its done
The English sun is setting and the rude boys on the run oh
Still its good to be in love with someone
When you've always had to be with no one.
Still I need you to remind me every day
The lives and loves weve lost and broken on the way
Heres to tomorrow and the lonely streets well roam
But if we don't leave now well find ourselves with no way home
Just to think were almost home

She could never ever ever ever ever ever ever get it into her thick head
So when pretending ends shell have scattered her friends
And she'll find she'll wake up dead
There's no card above receivers
Still its all so remote
Behind the bench at the rec
Where she lost fifty notes
(she says) ??I used to have a future
But now I don't know
Just dependence and repentance and a ready-brek glow??
Just put your money in
Bruised and battered shins
You fucking love it
You fucking love it
Back on your feet again
Out on the beat again,
You fucking love it
Yeah yeah yeah
Drunk as a skunk
Lean as a dean
Always the same
Since she was thirteen
You want it
You lame duck
You want it
Youre out of luck
You've always been a seedy fuck
So whats it gonna be?
Just put your money in
Bruised and battered shins
You fucking love it
You fucking love it
Back on your feet again
Out on the beat again,
You fucking love it
Yeah yeah yeah
When you boil it down
We descend from clowns to dogs
Just put your money in
Bruised and battered shins
You fucking love it
You fucking love it
Back on your feet again
Out on the beat again,
You fucking love it
Yeah yeah yeah
When you boil it down
We descend from clowns to dogs

I knew all along
That I was right at the start
About the seeds of the weeds
That grew in your heart
Self satisfaction for the factions
Who formed to tear us apart
Oh I gave you the Midas touch
As you turned round to scratch out my heart
Oh what did you expect?
Oh tell me what did you expect?
To lay it on my head?
So is it all upon my head?
Bang bang you're dead!
Oh I'm so easily lead
Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
Put all those rumours to bed
Bang, bang you're dead

I knew all along
But I was loathed to believe
There was nothing but spite
Fury and lies in the words that you weave
Bring our illusion to a conclusion
With all our unsold dreams
Put it to bed, kick it in the head
Oh won't they just let it be

Bang bang you're dead!
Oh I'm so easily lead
Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
Put all those rumours to bed
Bang, bang you're dead

Oh what did you expect?
Oh tell me what did you expect?
To lay it on my head?
So is it all upon my head?
Bang bang you're dead!
Oh I'm so easily lead
Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
Put all those rumours to bed
Bang, bang you're dead
