Slow Club - Let the Blade Do the Work lyrics
[Slow Club - Let the Blade Do the Work lyrics]
Just another town that might never recover
Just another friend who’s gone
And lost his mind
Just another sunset from the city trains
We ride it free to the end of the line
It’s just a, just another wasted attempt
Laying sideways in the harbor
While all the men are out at sea
You say you don’t want trouble
That you’ve left that life behind
But, you’ve got trouble here
With a capital "T"
It’s like this every time
You know it’s like this every time
It’s always like this every time
It’s always like this it’s always like this
So looking out across the formless frontiers
I scream your name down five broken valleys
I paint a picture of a
Glass hearted girl with
Promises too numerous to tally and
In the search light that’s been
Cheapening the midnight sky
I think of you and how
You had that troubled start
But, you never let it wash you away
To a town where you didn’t speak the language
And if it did you’d always know what to say
Say
Let the blade do the work
Let the blade, let the blade do the work
Let the blade, let the blade do the work
Let the blade, let the blade do the work
For years now, all I’ve heard is "heave-ho"
We’ve got two good cars down on the beach row
And with a little bit of luck we assume
I’ll be going home with no blood on my hands
I’ve got blood on my hands
So laying down beneath, a pregnant pause
And in the constant coverage of the wars
We never hear of what’s been learned
It’s just a thousand rocks left to un turn
And in her monument she is
Sleeping in her clothes tonight
And waking up before the sun
Has a chance to rise
To write her mantra across the skies
It reads pick up the wrench
If it's a victimless crime
It’s like this every time
You know it’s like this every time
It’s always like this every time
It’s always like this it’s always like this
Just another friend who’s gone
And lost his mind
Just another sunset from the city trains
We ride it free to the end of the line
It’s just a, just another wasted attempt
Laying sideways in the harbor
While all the men are out at sea
You say you don’t want trouble
That you’ve left that life behind
But, you’ve got trouble here
With a capital "T"
It’s like this every time
You know it’s like this every time
It’s always like this every time
It’s always like this it’s always like this
So looking out across the formless frontiers
I scream your name down five broken valleys
I paint a picture of a
Glass hearted girl with
Promises too numerous to tally and
In the search light that’s been
Cheapening the midnight sky
I think of you and how
You had that troubled start
But, you never let it wash you away
To a town where you didn’t speak the language
And if it did you’d always know what to say
Say
Let the blade do the work
Let the blade, let the blade do the work
Let the blade, let the blade do the work
Let the blade, let the blade do the work
For years now, all I’ve heard is "heave-ho"
We’ve got two good cars down on the beach row
And with a little bit of luck we assume

So laying down beneath, a pregnant pause
And in the constant coverage of the wars
We never hear of what’s been learned

If it's a victimless crime

You know it’s like this every time
It’s always like this every time
It’s always like this it’s always like this
