The lights are so nice and bright and let's dream, but some of us are stuck like stones in a slipstream. What am I gonna do to wake up? - Kate Tempest
Europe is lost, America lost, London lost
Still we are clamouring victory
All that is meaningless rules
We have learned nothing from historyThe people are dead in their lifetimes
Dazed in the shine of the streets
But look how the traffic's still moving
System's too slick to stop workingBusiness is good, and there's bands every night in the pubs
And there's two for one drinks in the clubs
And we scrubbed up well
Washed off the work and the stress
And now all we want's some excess
Better yet; a night to remember that we'll soon forgetAll of the blood that was bled for these cities to grow
All of the bodies that fell
The roots that were dug from the earth
So these games could be playedSleep like a gloved hand covers our eyes
The lights are so nice and bright and let's dream
But some of us are stuck like stones in a slipstream
