Everything Everything - Night of the Long Knives lyrics
[Everything Everything - Night of the Long Knives lyrics]
Hold me on this night of the long knives
Hold me on this night of the long knives
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
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 a 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 shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
There's a car overturned and it
Isn't stopping any time soon
But the front seat sure
Beats lickin' 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 a 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
Shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
Hold me on this night of the long knives
Hold me on this night of the long knives
(Are you my enemy now?)
I've been dying all my life
I've been dying all my life
I've been dying all my life
I've been dying all my life
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming (It was a long time coming)
Shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming (It was a long time coming)
Shame about your neighbourhood it's coming
Hold me on this night of the long knives
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
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 a 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 shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
There's a car overturned and it
Isn't stopping any time soon
But the front seat sure
Beats lickin' 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 a 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
Shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
Hold me on this night of the long knives
Hold me on this night of the long knives
(Are you my enemy now?)
I've been dying all my life
I've been dying all my life
I've been dying all my life
I've been dying all my life
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming (It was a long time coming)
Shame about your neighbourhood
It's coming (It was a long time coming)
Shame about your neighbourhood it's coming
