lyrics

Am E7 Am E7
It gets dark before four and the tram stations roar
Am E7 Am E7
Lights and the pity and the glass and the city
Am F Am E7
We’re looking out of a window we’re going home too early
Am F Am E7 Am
Tip the Palace into the water, the Cathedral in the river.

Vast architecture and scenes of revolution
Towers with vistas and valleys with twisters
Lines of damn people queuing up for solution
In an obdurate town I’m only here until Friday


Am Am+G Am7- F+ E7 or (Am/G/F/E7)
Drop me at the border in the rain and the snow
They’re using a new language the few words that I know
Send me back to the ocean where I’m sinking, I fear
Look up to the heavens and I’ll disappear.


The Streets in winter have few friends to call
Night watchmen in towers and frozen street drinkers
I’m sorry no one could see you in the dark and the light
Running through the traffic into an unforgiving night

Guitar Shaped Hammers and Gothic Urban Blues are the result. ... more
