lyrics

you saw hickory smoke from your partner's mouth
this is where her heart burned out
she took your clothes and she took your cash
drink her down till the colours clash
on the lash

we got collared outside by a man with a flask
who had tar on his tongue and a favour to ask
I said “I have no change, it's for your own good -
you'd only spend it on what I would”
we'll sniff your coke and smoke your stash
on the lash

this is where we toast the cenotaph
this is where cold water fills the bath
on the lash

your brothers blood on your disco feet
this is where our demons eat
being sick in the bathroom bin
laughing, better out than in
the beat of the city is a drunken thud
the earth is moving where you're stood
on the lash

this is where we toast the cenotaph
this is where cold water fills the bath
on the lash
