Night Of The Long Knives

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 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 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 (are you my enemy now?)
 Hold me on this night of the long knives (are you my enemy now?)
 I've been dying all my life (are you my enemy now?)
 I've been dying all my life (are you my enemy now?)
 I've been dying all my life (are you my enemy now?)
 I've been dying all my life
 (It's coming) shame about your neighbourhood

 (It's coming) it's a long time coming (shame about your neighbourhood)
