Letra
Hold me on this, night of the long knives
There's a flood on the street, there's a tide, and it's coming in now
Yet the concrete burns at the back of your skull
And they say it's a wave but it feels like a dribbling mouth
There's a light-bulb flicker but it never goes on
Yes the bomb may be falling
If it lands where you're stood
Man I know it's real big shame about your neighbourhood
I'm the wrong kind of people
Why'd you listen to me?
Just the island a'breathing in and out and it was a long time coming!
It was a long time coming!
[IT'S COMING]
There's a car overturned and it isn't stopping anytime soon
But the front seat sure beats licking some toads
And the sparks make the dark uncanny like a living cartoon
What the hell do you mean when you talk about roads?
Yes the bomb may be falling
If it lands where you're stood
Man I know it's real big shame about your neighbourhood
I'm the wrong kind of people
Why'd you listen to me?
Just the island a'breathing in and out and it was a long time coming!
It was a long time coming!
[IT'S COMING]
Hold me on this, night of the long knives
I've been dying all my life!
It was a long time coming.
