At night they would go walking 'till the breaking of the day
The morning is for sleeping
Through the dark streets they go searching to see god in their own way
Save the night time for your weeping
Your weeping

Singing la la la la la la ehh
And the night over London hey

So we rode down to the river where the (something something)
For the curses to be broken
We go underneath the arches where the witches are (something something)
There are ghost towns in the ocean
The ocean

Singing la la la la la la ehh
And the night over London hey

Gunners in the houses and gunners in my head
And all the cemeteries in London
I see god come in my garden but I don’t know what he said
For my heart it wasn’t open
Not open

Singing la la la la la la ehh
And the night over London hey

Singing la la la la la la eh
There’s no light over London today

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I will cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off...

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost

Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing starts
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off…

Those who are dead
Are not dead
They're just living in my head

And since I fell
For that spell
I am living them as well

Time is so short
And I'm sure
There must be something more

Those who are dead
Are not dead
They're just living in my head

And since I fell
For that spell
I am living them as well

Time is so short
And I'm sure
There must be something more

You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close

You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh

Those who are dead
Are not dead
They're just living in my head

Lovers keep on the road your on Runners until the race is run Soldiers you’ve got to soldier on Sometimes even right is wrong

They are turning my head out To see what I’m all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day, were gonna get out

Tonight, maybe we’re gonna run Dreamin’ of the Osaka sun Ohh, ohh, ohhh Dreamin’ of when the morning comes

They are turning my head out To see what I’m all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day, the sun will come out

Reign of love
I can’t let go
To the sea I offer
This heavy load

Locusts will
Lift me up
I’m just a prisoner
In a reign of love

Locusts will
Let us stop
I wish I’d spoken
To the reign of love

Reign of love
By the church, we’re waiting
Reign of love
My knees go praying

How I wish
I’d spoken up
Or we’d be carried
In the reign of love

When it started
We had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes
When it started
We were alright
But night makes a full of us in daylight

Then we were dying of frustration
Saying, "lord lead me not into tentation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Since they've gone

If you'd only
If you'd only say yes
Whether you will is anybody's guess
God only god knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

So up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
If there's any screaming let the windows down
As I crawl to the grown

If you'd only
If you'd only say yes
Whether you will is anybody's guess
God only god knows she won't let me rest
But i'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me
Won't you let me know

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog, became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in armor
When I’m dead and hit the ground
My love's opposed but unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know

I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below

So if you love me
Why'd you let me go

I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in the snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me
Won't you let me know

If you love me,
Won't you let me know

They were sitting
They were sitting in the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious

They were sitting
They were talking in the strawberry swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing

Cold, cold water
Bring me round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water
What ya say
It's such
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day

I remember
We were walking up to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing

People leaving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna curve away
It's such
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day

Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
[repeat x4]

All winter
We got carried
Or way over on the rooftops just get merry
All summer we just hurry
So come over just be patient and don’t worry
So come over just be patient and don’t worry

So come over just be patient and don’t worry
So come over just be patient and don’t worry

So come over just be patient and don’t worry

And don’t worry…

Try
Try
Try

No I don't want to battle from the year to end
I don't want to cycle and recycle revenge
I don't want to follow death and all of his friends...

And in the end
We lie awake
And we dream
We’ll make an escape

And in the end
We lie awake
And we dream
We’ll make an escape

Ooh…
