YOU'VE QUIT TOWN
AHEAD OF ME
WE'VE FALLEN OUT

AT LEASTON THIS WE'RE AGREED
SO DON'T COME AROUND
NO CHECKING UP ON ME
SINCE WE'VE FALLEN OUT
I'VE BEEN LEFT HERE TO SEETHE

AND YOUR ENEMIES
BECAME MY CLOSEST FRIENDS
SINCE WE'VE FALLEN OUT
FALLEN RIGHT OVER THE EDGE

MY PATIENCE WORE
AND MY TEMPER THINNED
SINCE WE'VE FALLEN OUT
NEVER TO MAKE UP AGAIN

NEVER TO MAKE UP AGAIN
SUCH A WASTE OF A FRIENDSHIP
SINCE WE'VE FALLEN OUT
SPIRALLED OUT OF EXISTENCE

SO FORGET THAT WE HAPPENED
I'VE PICKED OVER THE BONES
SINCE WE'VE FALLEN OUT
I'VE TORTURED AND TORN

MY SOUL FROM ITS CORE
MY SOUL IS RIPPED FROM ITS CORE
SINCE WE'VE FALLEN OUT
I DON'T BELIEVE ANYMORE

I DON'T BELIEVE ANYMORE...

TROUBLE HANGS AROUND MY HEAD
IT'S SAFER NOT TO LEAVE MY BED
I'LL JUST LIVE MYLIFE THROUGH BOOKS
CAUSE I HEAR THE REAL THING HAS A PRETTY BLEAK OUTLOOK

IF TROUBLE HANGS AROUND THEN ALRIGHT
WHEN TROUBLE COMES HOME RUINS LIVES

TROUBLE RENTS A HOUSE NEAR ME
ALL I NEED IS A HELL-RAISING NEIGHBOUR
COPIED ME A BRAND-NEW KEY
I WOULD LIKE TO RESIST BUT I DON'T THINK I'M ABLE

IF TROUBLE HANGS AROUND THEN ALRIGHT
WHEN TROUBLE COMES HOME RUINS LIVES

DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN

RUBY SAYS I AM NO FUN
BUT I'D BE ‘ROUND THE BLOCK BEFORE SHE HAD COME ALONG
IF I'M NOT IN BED BY CLOSING TIME
SEND FOR THE CALVARY

IF TROUBLE HANGS AROUND THEN ALRIGHT
IT'S WHEN TROUBLE COMES HOME RUINS LIVES

DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN...

I HEAR THE WHISPER ON THE TELEVISION
LISTENING TO MEN WITH IDEAS BUT NO
VISION,SO I'M TELLING YOU TO STOP, SIT
BACK AND LISTEN,IF YOU DON'T YOU WON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING

IS THERE ANYTHING THE SMALL CAN DO
ABOUT WAR? NO TOWERS OF WEALTH BUT A
MARCH FOR FREEDOM CALL, WHEN WILL WE
SEE THESE EMPIRES FALL, LET IT HURT LIKE A
KICK IN THE BALLS

NOW THE MASKED MEN MARCHING, THE
QUESTION IS WHEN? A BILLION BROTHERS
MULTIPLIED BY TEN, SUCKING VAMPIRES OF
YOUR MENTE, WHAT ABOUT THE ONES SO
POOR THAT THEY BEG FOR THE END TO COME
BUT THERE'S NO WHERE TO GO TO BE SENT,
WALKING FOR MILES AND THE SAME ROAD
BENDS, IN TO A CITY OWNED BY THE SAME
MEN,WHO OWN THE STREETS, MEDIA, LIVES
AND RENT

WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN YOUR ARMS
UNFOLD BUSY STANDING LISTENING AND
DOING WHAT YOU'RE TOLD WHEN YOUR MIND
AWAKE AND YOUR HEART LYING COLD WHAT
YOU GONNA DO WHEN ALONE

SEND THEM KIDS TO WAR,TO GET A BULLET
IN THE HEAD AND TELL THEM WHAT THEY'RE
LIVING FOR JUST SEND THEM KIDS TO WAR
AND TELL THEY PARENTS THAT THEY DIED
FOR A WORTHY CAUSE WHAT ARE YOU
FIGHTING FOR? THINK YOU'RE FIGHTIN FOR A
REASON NOT A KICK IN THE BALLS AND THEY
GO AND SEND THEM KIDS TO WAR...

SO WHY YOU WANNA TURN A BLIND
EYE, WHEN YOU HEAR IT AND SEE DUMB
POLITICIANS LIE,
BUT YOU TURN THE OTHER WAY AND IGNORE
LIVES, TAKEN BY THE ONES YOU PAY YOUR
TAX TO ABIDE, SEND YOUR SONS AND
DAUGHTERS AWAY TO DIE,PAID FOR BY
YOURSELVES AND WAVE GOODBYE, THEY
CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE, SO
GET YOUR ASSETS ON THE FLOOR AND DON'T
ASK WHY

PLAY BY THE RULES THEY NEVER MAKE SENSE,
YOU PAY YOUR ROAD TAX, VAT AND PAY
AGAIN, BIG BROTHER HAS TRAPPED YOU BUT
YOU WANNA ASK WHEN ARE WE GONNA WAKE
UP SEE AND FIND ZEN? BUT YOU NEVER
REALLY PUT THE EFFORT IN, IGNORANCE IS
BLISS SO YOU LET THESE KIDS FEND FOR
THEMSELVES LIKE THEY'VE GOT NO FRIENDS,
WHO GIVE A SHIT THAT THEY LIFE IS COMING
TO AN END

AND FOR WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU DYING FOR?
THE GOVERNMENT SENDING YOU TO FIGHT
THEIR WARS, YOU BREAK THIS DOWN AND
THEY BRIDGE THOSE WALLS, WHAT ARE YOU
DYING FOR?

THE NIGHT SHE WENT LOOKING
THERE WAS BLOOD, ICE AND ASHES
A SHIVERING EMBER THAT CUT UP THE DARK
SHE HAD FLINT IN HER FINGERS
EYES SPARKING WITH IRE
AND SPLINTERS OF OTHER COLD NIGHTS IN HER HEART

JUST A LITTLE WHITE ROSE
A GLINT IN THE SNOW
ICE IN THE BONE AND SHES AID

I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU
IN THE SHARDS OF THE MIRROR
I'LL BE THERE, I'LL BE THERE
I'LL FOLLOW, I'LL FIND YOU
AND YOU WON'T SEE ME COMING
I'LL BE THERE, I'LL BE THERE

WELL SHE SOUGHT HIM IN SHADOWS
AND IN WHISPERS AND DITCHES
SHE COULD STILL TASTE THE BOLT OF HIS BREATH ON THE WIND

THROUGH BARBED WIRE AND BRACKEN
AND BROKEN ILLUSIONS
SHE COULD STILL TASTE THE SALT IN THE CRACKS OF HER SKIN

JUST A LITTLE BLACK ROSE
A THORN IN THE SNOW
ASH IN HER VEINS AND SHE SAID

I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU...

WHEN SHE FINALLY FOUND HIM
ASLEEP IN THE GARDEN
SHE FLICKERED JUST ONCE AND THEN BANISHED ALL DOUBT

SHE CLUTCHED ALL OF HER PROMISE AND HOPE IN HER POCKET
STRUCK STEEL UPON STONE
AND JUST LET IT ALL OUT

A LITTLE RED ROSE
A STAIN ON THE SNOW
BLOOD ON HER HANDS AND SHE SAID

I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU...

SHE LET IT ALL OUT
