lyrics

The streetlights on standby
Watchful and hissing and I…
Imagine that they’ll flicker out around me
No light in the hallway
Left on the latch – I always…
Knew this was gonna be a dark place
The darkest yet, but…

I want to stay right here forever
Please let us stay right there forever

But we came apart on Marlborough Road
On Marlborough Road
Repeatedly
I fell apart on Marlborough Road
On Marlborough Road
Plus one makes three now
You don’t know what you lack
Till it’s present… correct

Keep smiling, no frowning
Your looks could shoot the aeroplane down in…
One second’s lapse of concentration
But this smile is distorting
Mix Glen’s – 11 in the morning
I think perhaps I’ve reached the stage where
The wind will change and…

I will be stuck like this forever
We could’ve been stuck like that forever

But we came apart on Marlborough Road
On Marlborough Road
Repeatedly
I fell apart on Marlborough Road
On Marlborough Road

A simple operation goes awry
The King is Dead – I saw it in his eyes
When all the money comes to nothing
Baby, it’s a sin
After the fire comes the flood
The ceiling’s caving in

So let it burn
Let it burn
Let slip the dogs
Bring hail and fog
The ground will open up
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let all the dead inside my head
Rise up and roam the earth
Cos it’s time…
