Editors In This Light And On This Evening Lyrics
1.In This Light And On This Evening

I swear to god
I heard the earth inhale
Moments before
It spat its rain down on me
I swear to god
In this light and on this evening
London's become
The most beautiful thing I've seen

I swear to god
I heard the earth inhale
Moments before
It spat its rain down on me
I swear to god
In this light and on this evening
London's become
The most beautiful thing I've seen

I swear to god
I heard the earth inhale
Moments before
It spat its rain down on me
I swear to god
In this light and on this evening
London's become
The most beautiful thing I've seen


2.Bricks And Mortar

No one understands, the way you found your God,
there's a bullet in your hands,
Give a dog a bone, feed him for the day,
and teach him how to kill, then...

I am the posted fence, I am the city wall,
stealing pounds and pence - from you all.
Still no one understands, the way you found your God,
there's a bullet in your hands.

Pour salt water on the wound,
pour salt water on the wound,
this home is more than Bricks and Mortar,
pour salt water on the wound.

When the boys told you, you'll have the arms of a soldier,
those arms will never hold her again.
It's just like I told you, when the boys told you,
he's gonna be a soldier for them!

Pour salt water on the wound,
pour salt water on the wound,
this home is more than Bricks and Mortar,
pour salt water on the wound.

I hope life is good for you.
I hope life is good for you.
I hope life is good for you,
I hope life is good for you aaaaaaaaaaaah.


3.Papillon

Darling, just don't put down your guns yet,
if there really was a God here,
he'd have raised a hand by now.
Darling, you were born but you will die here,
that's quite enough for me too,
we'll find our own way home somehow.

No sense of doubt, for what you can achieve,
I'd help you out, I've seen the life you wish to lead.
Well it kicks like a sleep twitch!
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe.

Darling, just don't put down your guns yet,
if there really was a God here,
he'd have raised a hand by now.
Darling, you were born but I'm gonna die here,
well that's quite enough for me too,
we'll find our own home somehow, Papillon!

It kicks like a sleep twitch!
It kicks like a sleep twitch!

Darling, now just don't put down your guns yet,
if there really was a God here,
he'd have raised a hand by now!
Darling, you were born but I'm gonna die here,
well that's quite enough for me,
we'll find our own way out somehow.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!

It kicks like a sleep twitch!


4.You Don't Know Love

You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before

You ran with the dead today
With the moles from the CIA
They see more than you ever see
Headlights in your rear view mirror
A panther's eyes as he preys on fear
You hunt for love, you electioneer

You ran with the dead today
Fill the cemeteries where ghosts still play
Before you run look out further away
One look at the soaring sight
Every little thing you die to hide
You know the truth when you lie

You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't feel love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before

You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before

You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before

You don't know love like you used to


5.The Big Exit

I'm turning in my skin,
alcoholic din, fills the room we're in
Girl, I think it's time we leave,
like a thief on Christmas Eve,
Take and you shall receive

No need to ask,
you already know the way I feel inside.

Won't crowd amongst the shadows,
see how much our love grows,
reflected in shop windows,
I love you as my blood flows,
as the rain ruins my best clothes,
you're a secret only I know.

No need to ask,
you already know the way I feel inside.
No need to ask,
you already know the way I feel inside.

Death at passing hours,
dampness of a flower,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours.

No need to ask,
you already know the way I feel inside,
No need to ask,
you already know the way I feel inside.

They took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours,
they took what once was ours.

No need to ask,
you already know the way I feel inside,
No need to ask,
you already know the way I feel inside.


6.The Boxer

A Bruisful Blue Play fights with the stars
This Place is our prison
It sells the past
So take me to town
I wanna dance with the city
Show me something ugly,
Show me something pretty

Damn this place makes a boy out of me
The Rain meets my face by the ?

An Unwanted sun pulls rank in the sky
The Boxer isn't finished
He's not ready to die
I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the heat
It's a violent night
There are boxers in the street

Damn this place makes a boy out of me
The Rain meets my face by the ?
And damn this place makes a boy out of me
The rain meets my Face before an oak tree

Dazed in the final rounds
Dazed in the final rounds
Dazed in the final rounds
Dazed in the final rounds


7.Like Treasure

Ain't it just like the old days,
Wait and see how the hand plays,
Living out our second-hand cliches,
Ain't it just like the old days.

You are what you eat,
You'll become digested,
Well love, it isn't felt.
No love is tested.

You will keep forever,
I'll bury you like treasure.

We gotta get friends in high places,
Hide behind their plastic faces,
Rip up the flag and replace it,
Dance with our friends in high places.

You are what you eat,
You'll become digested,
Well love, it isn't felt,
Love is tested.

You will keep forever,
I'll bury you like treasure.
You will keep forever,
I'll bury you like treasure.

I used to want to be you
Now where's your Shadow?
You're see through.
I used to want to be you
Now where's your Shadow?
You're see through.

You will keep forever,
I'll bury you like treasure.
You will keep forever,
I'll bury you like treasure


8.Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool

I don't wanna be ignored, oh God!
When I'm gone, I've lost this fight.
You're chewing with an open mouth, raw meat,
your blood drool attracts the flies.

I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her
I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her

I don't wanna be left out, or get fucked.
but there's a talent in your lies.
If you're chewing with an open mouth, raw meat,
your blood drool attracts the flies.

I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her
I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her

A little bit for myself
cos it's best for my health
I give a little to her
I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her

Don't wait for the sun.
Your, your story's been spun,
These lies, they just wanna have fun.
Your, your damage is now.

I give a little to you,
I give a little to him,
I give a little to her,
I give a little to you,
I give a little to him,
I give a little to her,
I give a bit to myself,
I give a little to him,
I give a little to her,
I give a little to her,
I give a little to you,
I give a little to him,
I give a little to her!
I give a little to her!
I give a little to her!
I give a little to her!
I give a little to her!


9.Walk The Fleet Road

A winter wind blows, in from the north,
Scratches your spine, cold like the forth.
But you're a long way from home,
Through the dark we tiptoe,
The hospital looms, as we walk fleet road.

Hold your tongue,
Swallow your venom,
You're too young,
Hold your tongue.

No push and no shove,
Spit your verbal mace,
Hate can turn to love not
this for this human race,
Ohhhh!!!

Hold your tongue,
Swallow your venom,
You're too young,
Hold your tongue.

Hold your tongue, (my heart...)
Swallow your venom, (will explode)
You're too young, (as we walk...)
Hold your tongue. (...the fleet road)
