Lyrics
Here Comes The Blackout...!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're standing on the only chair
And you're singing to the screens and the moving stairs
All on your own in the arrivals
You heard it in the watchman's cry
And you saw it in the bleeding evening sky
You got a Swiss army in your pocket
'Cos here comes the blackout...!
Now the hooded snake controls your mind
It stole your eye on the seventh of July
We've got to learn to love our neighbour
Before our neighbours start scaring the love out of us
Before they frighten the love out of us
In the story of the matchstick girl
She was freezing on the streets of Petersburg
She lit a match and found a warmer world
But here comes the blackout...!
Now the hooded snake controls your mind
It stole your eye on the seventh of July
We've got to learn to love our neighbour
Before our neighbours start scaring the love out
The hooded snake controls your mind
It stole your eye
Now we've got to learn to love our neighbour
before our neighbours start scaring the love out of us
Out of us
