The Rakes Klang Lyrics
1.You're In It

Some times you can't smell the shit that you're in it
I know your friends really think that you're winning
Look again and the news are grinning
California teeth

I'm your man, you're in it
By your pillow, I give the ___
Some times you can't smell the shit that you're in it
Some times you can't smell the shit that you're in it

You are exceptional
Being sexual
It's just a ritual
When we do to you, man!

I don't mind a


2.That's The Reason

It's late but I'm not finished yet
I'm stuck like a half-smoked cigarette
Between mates and the chances of something happenin'
She's in a group, she might be leaving soon

For a club or just a taxi home
I'd like to be in a taxi by her
Take a chance, make my move
Could be knocked back and they would all see

My mates and hers, it will be ugly
Or maybe it'll work and this night would be
More than just jabber to my mates and me
She's just leaving holes in your memory

Swing test to a heart in her sleeve
Instead I'll be back at her under the sheets
With TV on and she would smell good
We'll wake up and go to work, the world would be alright for
once

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
There ain't no home tonight
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
There ain't no home tonight

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
There ain't no home tonight

Yeah, I have to use your toothbrush
I know that you may not like that much
But stop for a second Freda while you touch
Most girl's magazines, blah, blah, blah

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight

(That's the reason)
Then you'd wake up
(That's the reason)
You were holding my hand

(That's the reason)
Fall asleep again
(That's the reason)
Big smile on my face

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight


3.The Loneliness Of The Outdoor Smoker

How many times can you tell yourself
That you only live once or so you heard?
But as a dreamer, I'm counting notes
There is no one clapping in the end of the show

One remains in the smokish club

All the loneliness of the outdoor smoker
Smoking outside the club

How many times can you tell yourself?
She'll never know, she'll never know that
The girl won't keep you company
She'll be gone in the morning

Who's the girl you've been dreaming of?
The red hair in the arm chair
Your life stand in the hot spot of
You're the star in this film noir

All the loneliness of the outdoor smoker
Smoking outside the club

Who's gonna save you know
When all the lights burn out?
The advertisement hanging out
From the car again

All the loneliness of the outdoor smoker
Smoking outside the club


4.The Woes Of The Working Woman

Give the girl a break
Give the girl a break
Give the girl a break
Give the girl a break

When the boys goes to war
And the girls stayed at home
Getting fatter and bored
We love ones apartment
The weather can be awful
Don't read that furtune
We don't know what for

We


5.1989

Spent the night in three drinks time
Where the bars were full it was summertime
Punks were hangin out in the park
While someone practised electric guitar
We drank some homemade wine
Now my heads not straight
So I lean for a minute on a cemetery gate
Half expecting to catch a sight
Of the dead Russian soldiers marching into the night

La la la la la laaaaa

Feel the sea like the blood is shed
As the dawn rubs up against our aching head
Girls light up pull there hoods up tight
Stuck the money in your bra that you made last night
Well I spent the night in three drinks time
Bars were full there was no closing time
Punks comparing tattoos and their scars
Now everyone's waiting for the band to start

La la la la la laaaaaa
(its alright if it all goes wrong in this cold lone city no one
knows where your from)

Woohoo woohoo woohoo

Oh the camera pulls away to show a hidden alleyway
Of broken bags and dreams by Turkish cafes
Where the dirty little pigeon played his inner puddle
By the drip drip drip of an emptying bottle
Of champagne perched on top of a half bombed church
Seeing angels who hear our wounds that make no sounds
The bird flies out to meet the hopes of the dream
And see what such grand stories
He's in the right to the left wing
He tries so hard
But falls back to earth to the filth of the yard
The singers blood runs cold like the spree
But not this girl not when she was 19

It was 1989
Its alright if it all goes wrong in this cold lone city no one
knows where your from

7.The Light From Your Mac

Lyricist:Alan Donohoe, James Horn-smith, Lasse Petersen, Matthew
Swinnerton

Girl, I slip into your bedroom
The light from your Mac
Cuts through the gloom
Like moonlight

It's so fucking grim out there, let's hibernate
I'm sick of people obsessed
With their clothes and hair
Never leave London, New York or LA

Fucking let's hibernate
It's cold and it is late
Both know I shouldn't stay
I don't care what your flat mates say

But yeah, they're probably right
Don't let me stay tonight
I'm drunk and you are tired
Don't let me stay tonight
I'm hard and you are tight

I can crash out on your sofa
But that's not what I am here for
We could do spoons or more
Just don't show me the fucking futon

I can hear it in your breathing
See your eyes move on a leash
As you dream of our future kids
Follow away the hazy gray

And yeah, you're probably right
Don't let me stay tonight
I'm drunk and you are tired
Don't let me stay tonight

Yeah, you probably had some bad advice
But your flat mate's on her prime
And one's got a mustache
And she talks a lot of shite

I can feel something is growing
And yeah, oh to be gone
Now the light from your Mac is blinking
Even it's not what I'm here for

And yeah, you're probably right
Don't let me stay tonight
I'm drunk and you are tired
So let me stay tonight

I don't care what your flat mates say
You got that naughty look in your eyes
I'm hard and you are tight
Just let me stay tonight


8.Muller's Ratchet

Son, you're too clouded by far
And I don't pay you to be smart
No one here likes a smart ass
So finish up behind the bar

You are at a difficult age
You can have world in a raga
So why don't use some of that energy
And roll your sleeves up like your mother and me

I know it, you know it
You're gonna end up just like me
And when it all falls to you
You're gonna end up just like me

Dad, I don't want to fall out
But this life is not what I'm about
Don't you ever wonder what it's all about?
And don't you wake up thinking that you're missing out?

We are living in a different age
(Newspaper says that you'll fall on trials)
So drag your bodies off the stage
You ganged up on the second floor
Somebody saw the reaper climbing out that door


9.The Final Hill

Your eyes, your eyes can't see me go
Your legs are crack and I'm stoned
This lake behind is breathing down your neck
Your great complex try to steal the keys from me

This is the final hill now
And I just had a revolution
We've been fought by the institution
So we end up with nothing to lose, man

Who lives, dreams in Regent's park
John Wilt, NyQuil and Shakespeare to the room
I've just giving up in another street corner
I fell on my back just to keeping in the closet

This is the final hill now
And I just had a revolution
We've been fought by the institution
So we end up with nothing to lose, man

You asked me too what is all this for
And tell yourself so I made your midgion for
Anything can happen, anything can happen
Anything can happen, anything can happen

This is the final hill now
And I just had a revolution
We've been fought by the institution
So we end up with nothing to lose, man

11.Bitchin' In The Kitchin'

In the kitchen of the party
I was sitting on your coat
Your finished sentences for me
Among all the things that you quote

If you're feeling ????, I'll guide you outside
Where the star of the sea YEAH!
If you really cried than I'll take you outside
Where the star of the sea were blinking at us

Your ??? on the door
And the click of the light
And you're here to have a good time

Your car and your rent
And your money's been spent
And you're here to have a good time

Ever so
Ever so
Ever so nice
Never
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever house the ???

On the bathroom of the party
You were holding on the cue
And we ??? your ??? and call for you
It was something in the ???
On the pocket of your coat

And if you're feeling down
Than I'll take you outside
Where the star of the sea were blinking at us

Your pressuring down
In the click of an line
And you're here to have a good time

Your rent was spent
And you money is gone then
You're here to have a good time

If you hang around bitchin in the kitchen
You're not gonna have a good time
If you hang around bitchin in the kitchen
You're not gonna have a good time

One more time
We can riot
We can turn all the ??? ???
We have secrets behind our smile
But tonight, yeah tonight you're all mine

Say you're riot
Cause you're cought in the line
I'll take you back on my back
Take you back to my home
